So, can we see him writing about how this was a bad thing?

Williams is a public intellectual. What goes on in his mind is of much less importance to public discourse than what he writes.

Let me be clear. I believe that Williams is a hypocrite and I believe that the large majority of the signatories on the harpers letter are hypocrites. I mention him specifically because he was one of the people who actually wrote a lot of its text rather than just signing it, which makes him of particular interest for this discussion.
