Can you please let it go? Or even better go some place else ?

I am sure many thank you.

According to their private presentation in the following link - they
receive on a regular basis private data from their contacts in
internet companies and internet organizations in illegal way - and
then they share it with Law Enforcement Agencies in illegal way
(without any warrant).

Spamhaus using fake names such as "Mike Anderson", "Rob Shultz",
"Thomas Morrison", "Pete Dewas" - is a fact.
Richard D G Cox name is displayed in the presentation - because it was
a private presentation that was displayed in a private event and they
never knew that it will become public.

They are helping Law Enforcement Agencies on a regular basis and in
very high volume according to their own presentation (by sharing with
them all the illegaly-obtained privacy data) - so Law Enforcement
Agencies look the other way.

Some of the employees of Spamhaus are past members of Law Enforcement
Agencies, such as Andrew Fried (from deteque.com - owned by Spamhaus)
- which was a former special agent in USA government before hoped to
his new job at Spamhaus. They are connected to the Law Enforcement
Agencies in the Western world.

Yes, they help Law Enforcement Agencies, but in illegal way.

Thank you for keep taking part in the illegal cyber influence
operation. I dislike the word "credibility" - I like the words facts
and data. Facts and data are booleans and don't let imbaciles like you
are to have an opinion, please relate to facts and to data.

confidence means illegal unless you are an imbacile, industry players
means internet companies and internet organizations, "on the
understanding" - meaning that their contacts that shared with them the
mass privcay data know that this data can be available to LEAs without
any warrant "where needed".

Ronald doesn't deny it, so you are denying it for him?

Proofs ? Facts ? Data ? Ever heared on any of these ? instead of
mumbling here that Coconut Guilmette is a meticulous researcher and
brutally honest.

Here just one note on his "honesty", Coconut Guilmette wrote here in
Nanog the text in the following link:

https://imgur.com/xWSq3g3

I was never contacted by CoCT like he wrote nor anyone else was
contacted, he lied to you all, not only that - but internal
correspondences of CoCT proof the complete opposite of what he wrote -
Alister of CoCT explained to Coconut Guilmette in his imagination what
he wrote there - Coconut Guilmette will not be able to show a single
proof to anything in that linked text paragraph of his.
I'm willing to show evidences of the exact opposite to one respected
member of Nanog and he will confirm it to the Nanog community (for
example to William Herrin).

/Are you attempting to hide the rest of the thread from closer
scrutiny while cherry-picking quotes you hope support your narrative?/

Racism is racism, you are again trying to to justify racism. The
person that called Ronald a racist and the person that called Ronald
an antisemitic - both of them read everything he wrote.

you, Mr. Cohen, are acting guilty of the allegations made by RFG and

----
No, that response regarding me was due to the lies of Coconut
Guilmette like I showed above. And there were many many more lies -
everything that Coconut Guilmette wrote about me was without any
single proof against me - only from his imagination.
Are you comparing the quote of stating that I need to answer to the
lies of Coconut Guilmette to the quote which is stating that Ronald is
an antisemitic ???



----
/Ron has UI problems, to be sure. Not the least of which, he doesn’t
filter and doesn’t put any effort into political correctness. He
definitely lacks polish and a certain level of social skills./

Nice way to cover up a person which is a racist and an antisemitic,
and was called a racist and an antisemitic not by me but by people
which are not related to me.



----
/I don’t think for one second that he is actually a racist or a bigot.
He identifies patterns and calls out what he sees. Often without

Patterns like country-origin ? city-origin ? race-patterns ? This is
called racism, you are still trying to cover up a racist and an
antisemitic.



----
/You, Mr. Cohen, are not collateral. You are dead center of the
wrongdoing he’s been pointing out./
----
The only wrongdoing is him not going to a complete health check and
you covering up a racist and an antisemitic.



----
/Just because RFG used racist terms and you happen to be Israeli (and
for all I know Jewish, too), doesn’t mean that his accusations against
you are baseless or inaccurate./
----
or Proof-less ???
And now in this sentence you are confirming that he is a racist and
antisemitic - so why you wrote all the above?

/Is it your claim that the following article:

Here is the latest ordered article from the illegal anonymous
organization "The Spamhaus Project" in that site:

https://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/350973-man-connected-to-african-ip-address-heist-running-for-board-position-at-european-ip-address-organisation.html

And in it you can see that is written:

"It must be noted that Cohen is not being accused of any illegal
activity in this report."

That is the last article after the mumbo-jumbo that you linked.

The site wrote it because they know that as you wrote - everything is
entirely baseless - but it doesn't matter to them - all they want is
to defame me and to hurt my chances to join the RIPE board, because
they know that I will put an end to the illegal anonymous organization
"The Spamhaus Project" if I will be elected, the defamation towards me
is only because I dared to stand up against the illegal anonymouos
organization "The Spamhaus Project".

"The Spamhaus Project" is an illegal anonymous organization according
to their own words in their own following presentation:

https://www.scribd.com/document/445894312/Spamhaus-Illegal-Private-Data-Violation

This is the second time I’ve seen you make this claim in public. I see
nothing in the slide deck you linked which claims they are illegal.

Nor does it say that they are anonymous, in fact, the CIO’s name
(Richard D G Cox) is prominently displayed on the title slide.

I seriously doubt that if they were truly the criminals you say they
are, they would be permitted to name the FBI as a partner on their
website: https://www.spamhaus.org/organization/

I also sincerely doubt that if they were criminals, as you state, that
they would be admitted as members, let alone receive awards from the
National Cber-Forensics and Training Alliance.

Indeed, ISPA has also presented them with an “Internet Hero Award”.

Frankly, when it comes to the issues of criminality, I think Spamhaus
has significantly more credibility than you do.

They wrote in it that they receive on a regular basis - massive
amount of illegaly-obtained privacy data from their contacts in many
internet companies and internet organizations - and then they share
it in illegal way (without any warrant) with Law Enforcement Agencies
- this is the reason that Law Enforcement Agencies are doing nothing
regarding the illegal anonymous organization "The Spamhaus Project”.

That’s an awfully strange interpretation of (presumably):

    “Spamhaus holds a lot of information provided in confidence by
    industry players — on the understanding that it can be made
    available to LEAs where needed.”


Ronald Guilmette is the front person of the illegal anonymous
organization "The Spamhaus Project”.

Uh, sure, and I’m the Prince of Whales.

----
/and that said legal counsel has then
/
/proceeded to threaten various officials of the City of Cape Town,
/
/South Africa with possible legal action if they do not relinquish
/
/to him their rights in and title to the 165.25.0.0/16 block/
----
This is a complete lie, in order to shame CoCT I will not share their
internal correspondences. Anyone interested to know more information
can email me directly.

At this point, the best you’ve got on this list is an a-said/b-said
with no public evidence on either side. In such a case, it boils down
to credibility and frankly, IMHO, yours is lacking.

----
/"I am assured that at no time did the City of Cape Town ever sell,
trade, or barter away their rights to this valuable IPv4 block"/
----
Ronald is "assured" exactly as he is "assured" that all Dutch people
are criminals and all Colombian network oeprators are criminals and
all Chicago citizens are criminals according to his statements in the
following links:

Quote 1 might be bad style on RFG’s part, but style and eloquence have
never been his strong suits. OTOH, he is, in my experience, a
meticulous researcher and brutally honest. I also note that you have
carefully resorted to an image of a plain text blob with no header
matter and no way to authenticate or verify the source or validate the
attribution as factual. I don’t doubt that it is an actual RFG quote
(at least it sounds like something he’d say), but why not link to the
actual list archive where you got it? Are you attempting to hide the
rest of the thread from closer scrutiny while cherry-picking quotes
you hope support your narrative?
FWIW: Cogent sales reps who actually respond
<https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-September/102992.html> is
the original thread from the NANOG archives.

Qoute 2 strikes me as an innocent snark said in jest.
FWIW: Colombia Network Operators Group
<https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-September/103083.html> is
the original thread from the NANOG archives.

Quote 3 is the most amusing in that the person all but states that
you, Mr. Cohen, are acting guilty of the allegations made by RFG and
that the original poster thinks you both have things to answer for.
FWIW: Quoted thread here: Prominent horse racing identities (was Re:
Elad Cohen)
<https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2020-January/105585.html>

Ronald was called an antisemitic and a racist person here on Nanog in
the following two links, by people which are not related to me:
https://imgur.com/AQCmZlk
https://imgur.com/a/Rzrbxkz

Ron has UI problems, to be sure. Not the least of which, he doesn’t
filter and doesn’t put any effort into political correctness. He
definitely lacks polish and a certain level of social skills.

I don’t think for one second that he is actually a racist or a bigot.
He identifies patterns and calls out what he sees. Often without
regard for the collateral damage.

You, Mr. Cohen, are not collateral. You are dead center of the
wrongdoing he’s been pointing out.

In the first "The Ronald Show" many months ago - Ronald called me in
two antisemitic names that are being used to relate to Jews in
Shakespeare literature (just like Ronald is relating to Shakespeare
in https://imgur.com/AcmgwEX ) - as part of his defamation campaign
towards me - none of you raised a voice and not only that but some
Nanog subscribers enjoyed his racism and antisemitism (without a
single proof against me) as was written here by them (with a popcorn).

Just because RFG used racist terms and you happen to be Israeli (and
for all I know Jewish, too), doesn’t mean that his accusations against
you are baseless or inaccurate.

Is it your claim that the following article:
https://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/318205-the-big-south-african-ip-address-heist-how-millions-are-made-on-the-grey-market.html

is entirely baseless? Do you have any documentation to support such a
claim?

Just out of curiosity… Is this you, too?
