There have been two reasonable objections (bearing in mind that one doesn't have to necessarily agree with an objection to find it reasonable) raised that have nothing to do with alleged fear of losing rating points.
1. How secure is the online tournament environment from cheating?
2. People can be jerks online in a way that they wouldn't in real life.
To me, that suggests what's being argued is not "I'm afraid of losing my ratings points" but "If I do lose my points, I want it to be fair, and I don't want to be verbally abused in the process either."
From my limited perspective on the matter, Lackey seems secure from everything I've heard, but I would suggest OP consider enhancing rules regarding good sportsmanship (sportspersonship?) both during and after online tournaments, as well as posting info on opponents' decks while tournaments are still happening. Situations where someone says "I don't want to play in online tournaments because I might be matched up with So-and-so and they're a jerk" are categorically not good for OP.

And I'd rather not have Rule 11 become involved either.
