Did you read what theymos wrote? "If Bitcoin is banned in the United States, I'm closing down the forum,"

That's a very big "if"!

I quote, "no danm shit about other countries and Bitcoin." His dear country is what matters to him. Grin

If the US bans Bitcoin, you can't really blame theymos for not wanting to be an outlaw. Whether we like it or not, we still have to follow the laws of the country we live in.

is it actually OK that in a forum of such size and significance we have authoritative leadership that simply makes a decision like this without any sort of consulting?

Of course. Bitcointalk isn't a democracy:

Ok, why did you all have not banned all those f** Shit/Scams newCoins, ICOs, tokens etc... when we see that bitcointalk was the first vector of promoting all that early shitcoins !

You're asking the wrong person: ask your government. My guess is that government works too slow to make a difference here: they're still debating about it long after it ended.

Several people seem to be concerned that the current policy will be too disruptive/constraining. How about I make this modification to loosen it a bit: you can direct people to mixers by name (even in something like a "top 10 mixers" topic), as long as:
- You don't directly post their URLs.
- It's not a paid ad, and you're not representing a mixer.

I'm still concerned about phishing sites. But I guess obfuscating the URL to "Kitchenaidxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbzoijhwpsf.onion" is too much?
