All internet users should see the exact same namespace in the DNS system, regardless of what nameservers they use, or which provider they connect through.
Why? If somebody else wants to see something different than you see, who are you to tell them they can't? [snip]
I have no problem with people breaking/mangling their networks any way they like; I have no problem with AOL special content, etc. People who blackhole abusers, etc. I have major problems with people mangling their net and then turning around to claim their net is unmangled. I don't care how many others have their little fragmented roots, but -as I said at the start of this crud- if they don't wish to play in the consunsual reality/delusion that is the big-I Internet, then they need to be striaght up abaout it. Honestly, I don't even care if they claim they are providing "Internet++", "Expanded Internet", etc happy-spin marketing buzz. But any claims made that such things which are NOT the global-consensus Internet ARE "the Internet" will be met with refutation, uproarious laughter, and shunning.
