How so? Exactly what is my approach?
I'm sorry, you're right, that was totally unfair. I meant blacklists,
because you were arguing for them, but that doesn't make "your
approach" synonymous with blacklists. My apologies for trivializing
your position. s/"your approach"/blacklisting/
"Fair due process" and "free speech" and even "legitimacy" are none
of your concern....
I don't want to burden the ietf list with an argument over the nature
of liberty, but I'd be happy to have that discussion privately if you
like.
If you think blacklists are bad because they can be run by fools, then
you also must hate any network authentication and authorization
mechanism.
That's only a slight overstatement, actually.
I am offended by your implication that I suggested any such thing.
I am sorry if I misinterpreted.
Then you'd better give up on the Internet.
