From my understanding, Dreamwidth's import tool already allows people to import their entries from LiveJournal along with all comments posted to those entries, regardless of security level, and against the will of the commenter. Furthermore, I've seen numerous credible reports from people who claim that DreamWidth actively refuses to remove the imported comments upon request. I fail to see how this differs in any meaningful way from the feature recently implemented by LiveJournal. Whether it's listed as such or not, I'd have to consider crossposting other peoples' comments against their will a Guiding Principle of the site given that this feature was one of the primary means of convincing people to use Dreamwidth instead of LiveJournal.
