Black Hole Vixie/RBL

Bob, the RBL is a completely voluntary service, and everyone who uses it
uses it by choice.

If you don't like it, don't use it.  Leave the rest of us alone.

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

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!
