Re: Survey on the use of IP blacklists for threat mitigation

["J. Hellenthal via NANOG" <nanog () nanog org>]

Guess we all better start rewriting all of the documentation out there because some PC marketing snowflake wants to get 
extra brownie points and attention for classifying a color in RGB into a racial divide for which it never originated.

blacklists are not always deny/block/disallow and conformed of things that allow you to take actions whatever your 
choosing upon their contents and your policies.

What’s next ? redlisting ? Don’t offend the Russians ... blue ? Don’t want to offend the police ...

Leave this crap off the list, it’s not helping anyone.

The fact that there's a highway to Hell but only a stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
