Affiliate Links Hurting Page Rank?

I've noticed a few questions coming through the popular webmaster forms of users questioning the affect on PR(Google Page Rank). The idea is logical and most definately will affect your PR and rank in SERP's. However, is it enough to even worry about?

The web has, is, and will always be a scary place...but why should we worry about who we link to. I say this as long as moderation is used. As a webmaster you should always be focused on linking to quality sites. That is the only guideline you should be concerned with when linking out to other neighborhoods.

Don't force the web backwards, embrace diversity and link freely, but responsibly. Don't hate thy fellow webmaster, embrace their success and achievements. Linking has to start somewhere, why not with you?
