Hans,
I would be most interested in what you perceive as being negative about the
logs being public. I am not aware of anything negative resulting for any of
the participants of the last two years of CQWW contests whose logs are
public.
What would you say to convince someone else that your perspective on this is
valid? (Aside from you having a right to an opinion - of course).
Or more simply - why?
73,

You're absolutely correct, Albert, as far as you've stated the situation.
But of course there are more options than "if you don't like the rules,
then just buzz off, creep".
One of those other options is: "I don't like the rules, and I'll attempt
to persuade the sponsor(s) to change them."
In that vein, I believe that participant logs ought to be a private
transaction between the participant and the sponsor, and that "fair use" of
the log should not extend beyond that needed to score the contest.
