[[MarkDilley]] has spoken recently in the [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|block policy proposal]], claiming to support "[[SoftSecurity]]". One might put this in the context of his [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#Enforcement_against_editors|recent decision to move five wiki articles to talk pages]]. He seems to favor protecting pages rather than blocking users. Now I see that this is much more effective, because some editors will simply get more IP addresses and create more user names when they are blocked, for example, through the [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Onion_Router Tor network]. [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page= But one such dissenter claims (by creating this message as a user name) "You'll have to lock talk pages too"]. Perhaps a threat to [http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:uoKLLo-HZ6UJ:rationalwiki.com/wiki/index.php%3Ftitle%3DWandalism+rationalwiki.com/wiki/Wandalism+wandalism&hl=en&client=mozilla&gl=us&strip=1 wandalize] talk pages, if their demands are not met.
