On 30/05/2018 04:47, it was written: > Well, many people. let me start with myself: You claim that my opinions > are rubbish and you compare my opinions to those same people > (Fox/Republicans) whom: > > violently take babies away from mommies - yes, at a border Americans > grab little babies from the hands of their mothers and take the mommy > and the little baby to different "detention" facilities. I have been following this thread with great interest, and have found points I find persuasive and unpersuasive on both sides. It could be said that the thread is wandering off into unproductive theorising, but in the circumstances of the advent of GDPR, whether public WHOIS really is a necessary or important component of anti-abuse activities seems a broad topic worth debating fully. Some light has even been shed on GDPR's meaning. I also consider myself highly tolerant of passionate and occasionally intemperate comments. It seems to me that it is better to have it out, and to show the respect of tolerating less well mannered arguments, than to try to aggressively police language and so exclude many people from full participation in the debate. Usually those that go over the top do more harm to their own case than to others, and that has been how I have reacted to some of the comments in this thread. But can we please leave out accusations that your political opponents abduct babies? That surely crosses the line. The trope is, at least, Older Than Feudalism, and very likely Older Than Dirt, and as always raising it serves no purpose other than to demonise one group of people and to smear another by association, thereby shutting down the conversation. It's not an argument, it's a transparent attempt to exclude. Please stop. More generally, I believe this discussion would be improved if people stopped throwing around terms like "European" and "Republican" as though they are terms of abuse. Our community is, and should be, open to all.

Folks, Right, nobody, right now, is talking about banning anyone. Can we all please step back from the way this conversation is going and discuss the facts around what is happening. Your opinions on governments or groups are yours, that's fine, but the discussion is not enhanced by them becoming the focus. Please remember, as I said, that this mailing list is covered by the RIPE Community Code of Conduct which is here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/ripe-mailing-list-ripe-forum-code-of-… I would really prefer if we could ensure that everyone feels welcome to participate in discussion on this mailing list.

Here on this side of the pond, one usually has to turn on Fox News in order to be treated to this level of rubbish. The only thing that has happened is that private researchers the world over have been effectively blinded due to the supreme arogance and idiocy of europeans... europeans who, in their religious fervor, have come to view it as their holy obligation to foist their demented notions onto the rest of the world, whether any of the rest of us like it or not. Meanwhile the malevolent forces of state-sponsored intrigue and violation of human rights are and shall remain totally unfettered and unaffected by GDPR, as they will be the first ones to obtain special exemptions allowing them to continue to see WHOIS data. The CIA, NSA, BDN, and FSB are undoubtedly celebrating the arrival of GDPR, as it further entrenches their special status at the expense of the great unwashes masses. Friday was a sad day for both transparency and democracy, but all across the globe both criminals and statists undoubtedly celebrated it with toasts of champaign. Regards, rfg

Well, we disagree in the definition of abuse maybe? You can find many definitions of this: "Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages, which are generally undesired" So, spam is abuse, and I don't need to know IPs to send spam. The mail server will use DNS to find them.

How come you can't send spam without the IP? I can look for new registered domains, use whois for catching the emails that appear there, and then spam them. This is something that I experience everytime I register a new domain, tons of spams to the whois recently created email contacts.
