No?  So you'd be fine if someone generated a fake certificate belonging
to "White Power Action Network <wpan at stormfront.org>" and added a
signature to your certificate from it?

There are definitely such things as unwanted signatures.

No.  This isn't even in the same postal code as reality.  More
signatures from *real people* may result in a better WoT; more
signatures, period, or signatures from fake identities, really don't add
anything.
