You also still haven't given a compelling argument for openness. Asserting something is a "bad thing" is not a reason.

Yeah, exactly. And on a site as diverse as this, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every community. An encyclopedic project like Wookieepedia has completely different rules and traditions than a roleplaying community, or a smaller-scale project. That's why it's best to let the individual communities decide what's best for them when it comes to page protection.
