Hey Gardimuer - I totally see your points. We made the decision to take this action because should SOPA or PIPA pass, the legislation will effect all wikis regardless of whether the individual wikis support or oppose SOPA/PIPA. Had we elected to offer this action as an opt-in or opt-out the message would be missed for many.
