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.
