Does link from link farm hurt your site?

[temi]

I have seem many debates about this over the year, people saying link pointing to your site does not hurt but you will not get any benefit from it if its poor quality while other claimed that excessive link from link farms will hurt your site.

What do you experienced SEO think of this?

I have no really experience with this since i try to avoid every linkink page where the anchors are not grouped around a niche, but i guess it won't increase the trusted being of your site at all...

I agree with you Bagi, what some one argued was that search engines do not credit you at all for such links but you are not penalized either.
If you are penalised, all someone got to do to hurt your site is to buy lots of crap links and point it to your site.
