Past policies versus present and future uses

A take on the 1979 movie "When A Stranger Calls" - "have you checked the 
children?" becomes "have you checked the IP registration?"

Have you checked the IP registration?

The vast majority of the time, Ron Guilmette does "the Lord's work" - 
but THIS time - it looks to me like he put his political biases ahead of 
legit anti-abuse, and it's no surprise that we now have a trail of 
destruction left behind, along with much "innocent bystander" collateral 
damage.

Is DDoS-Guard without blame? Probably not, but them hosting some 
occasional criminals is NOT UNLIKE EVERY OTHER GLOBAL NETWORK! So like 
other large and diversity global networks, anti abuse should focus on 
removing their worst criminals/spammers. By these SAME standards, many 
other large and famous networks should lose most or much of their IPs too!

So here we are, with many OTHER networks now legitimately freaked out 
about losing their IPs, and with massive potential collateral damage 
that might hurt many "innocent bystanders" each time that is done!
