I completely disagree with your entire assertion. You not only aren't interpreting the facts accurately, but you are blindly ignoring the facts. It hasn't gone there, and there are numerous reasons it won't go there. Not everyone is a psychopath with no interest in anyone but themselves, Bill.  People understand that if they chose not to play ball, ARIN has recourses available to them. Most people understand the value of not fighting a fight they can't win, and where the other party has readily available 'nuclear' options and they do not.

Now please take this little charade off to a blog somewhere and rant away, and let this list focus on policy.
