I will at some point today drink enough coffee to gain the self control it would take to not answer crazies. Because that time has not yet come, I can only hope that you, the reader, will delete this message without reading any further. bob@fcn.net (Bob Allisat) writes:
Mr. Vixie and his cohorts increasingly imagine themselves to be the final and ultimate arbiters in matters of Network integrity. Having them sit in judgement over the Black Holing of successive and alleged perpetrators violates numerous protections and freedoms all citizens
Yup. Well, your freedoms anyway. Note that the MAPS RBL is a subscription service; no second and third parties are ever denied the opportunity to communicate freely unless one of them subscribes to the MAPS RBL and the other list listed on it.
It is my opinion that these activities have reached their zenith and something should be done to finally Black Hole Vixie/RBL should they continue on their renegade mission of uncontrolled and arbitrary censorship. Maybe it is time to pull the plug on the ultimate plug pullers, black hole the black holers!
I suppose that you'd prefer "controlled" censorship? Well, anyway, the sysop.com guy is spamming threats far and wide in hopes of scaring away my subscribers, but this doesn't appear to be having his desired effect. Maybe "renegade" is the wrong word? As for your suggestion, I would like it, and I mean I would really, really like it, if you (Bob Allisat) would please blackhole my route in your upstream router. I'm 204.152.184/21. Leave 192.5.4/23 out, since that's where F lives, but I promise that none of my mail or web servers are outside 204.152.184/21. -- Paul Vixie <paul@vix.com>
