Let me see if I've got this right.

You believe that, while DvD may cause a lot of problems for the 'Net by
making it possible for troublemakers to intimidate ISPs into cancelling
other people's articles, it is to be broadly welcomed because it will
make the average user more aware of the possibility of issuing third
party cancels, thus causing a lot more problems by encouraging the
troublemakers to do their own cancelling.

Have I understood your meaning?
