I certainly would! To be more specific, his call for us to make it
easier to trace Wikipedia contributors, and therefore to enable people
to sue them, is *directly* contrary to a lot of our goals. If we make
it so that nobody can be anonymous enough to avoid U.S. libel lawsuits,
it also means nobody is anonymous enough to avoid getting hauled before
courts authoritarian countries who might want to trace who wrote an
article they disapprove of.
