Because it seems we have denigrated to finger pointing and attacking
members of the list, in spite of the condenses opinion that we would
not do this to each other. net.terrorism is a very poor choice of word
since no carrier is required to carry traffic that is deemed harmful to
its downstream client's and to use this list to blackmail or harm
anyone's interest violates the operational fabric of the entire group.

This is shameful and unprofessional in my humble opinion and should
cease now.

was for our own protection

no.

                           because that traffic from that host does not
comply to their AUP.

yes.

                       We specifically told them we really don't mind them
blackholing that host but *announcing* a route for it. So far no response.

you expect abovenet to cut uunet's /16 into pieces so as to avoid sending to
its customers the parts which violate abovenet's acceptable use guidelines?
even if this were a scalable approach (considering the number of /16's which
have violating /32's inside them, or will in the future), it's something i'd
expect the owner of the /16 to take issue with.

why are we discussing this on nanog?
