This started as a technical appeal, but:
1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues as described in the charter of NANOG.
Hard to see how the OP has anything to do with either of the above.
Actually, it's not that hard ... *if* we can control ourselves from making them partisan, and focus instead on the operational aspects. (Admittedly, that's pretty hard!)
The OP's query was a logical combination of two concepts:
- First, from the charter (emphasis mine): "NANOG provides a forum where people from the network research community, the network operator community and the network vendor community can come together *to identify and solve the problems that arise in operating and growing the Internet*."
- Second, from John Gilmore: "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."

Everyone has a line at which "I don't care what's in the pipes, I just work here" changes into something more actionable.
Stretched far beyond any credibility. Your argument boils down to, "If it's a political thing that *I* like, it's on topic."
