Somebody explain the logic of this position?

Do you have a method of determining whether a URL is going to redirect you
prior to clicking it?

Or are you going to maintain a blacklist of *every* URL redirection service
on the web?

If you don't want to use the "applescript://" scheme then disable it.

Everybody and his dog are implementing redirection schemes. The ridiculously
long URLs generated by many PHP/mySQL solutions are making this sort of
redirection a necessity.
