| I'm going to set up a letter of protest. | |
| I don't think I'll call it a petition. | |
| Probably a letter of protest. | |
| And I'm going to try to circulate this around to a lot of prominent people who have been wronged in various ways by Wikipedia. | |
| I think that will help, but at this point it seems to be increasingly necessary, making some noise at Congress, which has now got the Oversight Committee is investigating foreign influence on Wikipedia. | |

| I don't want to do that at all. | |
| I still have many libertarian bones in my body. | |
| That actually makes me uncomfortable. | |
