[arin-ppml] Against 2013-4

[Blake Dunlap]

Now legitimately, I don't think some or maybe even most of the advocates of
dropping needs basis are in it for personal gain. There are at least a few
if not a lot of them that genuinely believe that some version of a "free"
market is the best solution to directing goods to those who should have
them. Let's not marginalize them with accusations of self profit
motivation, it needlessly creates animosity and an us vs them attitude.
