You're forgetting Dean's accusation of Paul Vixie being involved in
organized crime?

 From
http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-discuss/2007-November/000605.html
:

"We also have ARIN engaging in extortion of Legacys, as I described
previously. This relates to other similar activity, and to an ARIN Board
Member previously accused in Court of, among other things, extortion and
organized crime, for which a Temporary Restraining Order was issued.

Let me try to put some perspective on the issue with some background:


Who's who (abbreviated):
---------

Paul Vixie is an ARIN Board Member. "

Wait a minute, I actually can read. In your quote of Dean: "an ARIN
Board Member previously accused in Court of, among other things,
extortion and organized crime". This is Dean relating a fact. It is not
an accusation of "murderer, drug 
dealer international criminal mastermind". The phrase "organized crime"
does not equate to "international criminal mastermind". I have also done
the reading on the history and learned that the accusation carried at
least enough weight to result in an injunction. So no, I didn't forget
what I read from Dean before.
