Can't speak for the other person, but assuming good faith, not biting newcomers, and the recognition that many legitimate reasons exist for using tor under repressive governments as the reasons for not liking hard blocks. As for other needs, id say, you know, being Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that *anyone* can edit is a pretty important need. The more we close off the club, the more we stagnate.
This is what I mean when I say that hard-blocking Tor is a bad idea, and why it's obviously necessary to enlighten the devs as to why (whether casually or ideologically) disabling hard-blocking Tor will be an even worse one.
