[arin-ppml] Internet Fairness

[Mike Burns]

I'm uncomfortable with what Mr. Seastrom did there, choosing the example he 
did.
As a community we strive to be inclusive, and one way to stifle conversation 
is to go ad hominem, even if obliquely.
I hope we don't see more of that kind of thing on this list, nor language 
about trolls or whatnot.

Regards,
Mike

Topologically distinct means not sharing facilities or upstreams.
Think off-site, on the other coast, or out-of-country, on networks not
run by you.  You are not kept from following these BCPs by
difficulties in your interface with ARIN.  It's a business decision
that it's too hard to do the right thing so you'll try and squeak by
with the absolute minimum.

Actually not, and I offered a specific counterexample to your
assertion that small organizations do not have the resources to
participate in the RIR or operator community, which you chose not to
quote.
