I don't care much about people who judge a book based on its cover, or 
on who wrote it. If they* don't feel like reading it and/or publish it 
because of a username they can go write their own damn encyclopedia 
instead of leeching on our work.

* They, as in those fabled "downstream" users which we must protect 
against harm at all costs and who we are required to provide a free 
encyclopedia to, so that their stupid and annoying banners can get more 
hits.
