I think perhaps we're getting a little melodramatic here. I was under the impression that we're here to write an encyclopedia, not fight oppression. If the former happens to lead to the latter, that's a great bonus. My point was that it's up to the user to protect himself. If a slip of an IP address will likely lead to harsh punishment, the risk of editing is almost certainly too high. I'm NOT saying that we should be careless and expose IP addresses, but to treat this as a matter of life and death is unnecessary rhetoric. Carbonite
