It’s the only language they use and understand.
Knock it off.
You too.
You got it. Thanks for posting this. I'm teaching information policy in the Winter and cover international domain name resolution issues. Students always think that these bodies are necessary, until you ask them which of their Constitutional rights did they give up when they chose a domain name.
Cybersquatting and holding domain names ransom is one thing; giving up your rights is another.
Me too what?

I just returned from some errands and I missed the responses that are now removed. I was not here to see the “name calling.”
One of my posts was among those pulled. I admit I was out of line and I am sorry to whomever may have been offended.
Should we be able to discuss the matter civily I would still like answer to the questions I posed in #25 and in #30.
God bless,

My question posted about the name calling was a mere coincidence in timing to the post removals. By the time I had posted and hit refresh, they were gone. The moderators were ahead of me on this one (lol). You ask good questions. There are some people you simply accept that they will be put on the front line of long battle sooner or later. There...they can show their bravery. Allow them to walk 5 ft ahead while hunting, and tell them how great of a leader they are and you’re glad to be following. It’s always good to keep their influence on others to a minimum. Point others to them as examples of the wrong direction.
That is unless you control the mute button (lol) :)
I left shortly after my post (the one that was pulled). As I said I was a little out of line. It was a case of overreaction (on my part) to someone on FR being in love with the UN. Truth is I found it shocking!
There’s a quote that goes something like -
“Leave from this place. May your chains rest lightly upon your shoulders and may we forget we ever knew you...”
I wish I could remember exactly how it goes.
“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)
Many, MANY people do not understand the UN. Those are the impressionable ones. The UN lovers will not reverse course. It stands as the crux of many of their arguments with other issues (trade, etc.)...so they are forced to stay mentally loyal to them. I try to ignore them and just keep them from screwing others’ threads up.
Wise policy!
United Nations Group Issues Report on Internet Addresses
By JERI CLAUSING Published: May 3, 1999
Speculating in the registration and resale of potentially valuable Internet addresses would effectively be outlawed under new rules proposed by the intellectual property body of the United Nations. The proposal would also give companies and people with claims to famous words or trademarks first claim to certain Internet addresses.
The recommendations, issued Friday evening to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, are the first attempt by any official body to draft an international set of rules to combat the much-maligned practice commonly referred to as cybersquatting. The report was requested by the Clinton Administration last year when it handed oversight of the Internet's addressing system to the corporation, an international nonprofit organization known as Icann.

Thank you Both! It can’t be repeated enough!
Worthy of a double shot on that :)
