Articles like this are getting lots of traffic from digg and other places, and significantly damaging wikipedia's reputation. The way to combat that is not to refuse to be interviewed; it's to get the other side of the story out more effectively. I'm not sure of the best way to do that, but I don't think the occasional bunker mentality here helps.
Part of it, I'm sure, is that responsible people don't feel qualified to act as if they were Wikipedia's spokespeople ... while the irresponsible have no problems.
