bash.org... bash.org... now where have I seen that... AAH YES! So then a group dedicated solely to efforts at documenting trolling on IRC should be given credibility as to what is/isn't said on NANOG? Yes there are members of ICANN, ARIN, and most "tier-1" peers on here. You might even see bash.org stick it's neck out and get it chopped off from time to time. And now back to things that are less fattening on my killfile.

hello,
i've been reading nanog-l/inet-access for many many years (just a shadow, i don't post).
i am just curious... do you have any authority/commission from arin (or anyone else)? or is yours a rogue vigilante mission? does anyone ask you to undertake the battles you feel justified in engaging in?
this is certainly not flame bait, but it is an honest question. you're very self-righteous, and although you may have valid points (i withold judgement) i really want to know what gives you the right/authority to say the things you say about others.

In the north-american country I happen to live in, you do not need 'authority' to express your opinions. If your country is different, I offer my condolences.
