Re: Is the .to (Tonga) domain completely rogue and should be removed?

I never advocated a DoS attack, as a matter of fact I specificly said I
did would not advocate it.  I did say it would solve the problem.
DoS attacks are against the AUP I wrote for my company and applies
to my customers.  I've terminated people for violating it.

Not that I would advocate such activity...

As far as the technical merits of this, it should be observed that
anyone unprepared to deal with DoS is foolish, and at this time
the chance of successfully prosecuting someone for a DoS attack is
very low, and from what I've been able to see in my time in
the business most of the attacks are on high profile targets.
(What sites get smurfed the most?, three letters IRC...)

I can't control what say about what I write, but the proof is in the
mail archive.  
If I was the type of person you claim, you would be seeing a demand
for an apology or lawsuit.  Since I'm not, I won't, and frankly
I doubt anyone that knows me would believe you anyway.

Perhaps you can say something useful, after you learn to read.
And to note:  I took the personal comments off the CC lists.  This individual
was the one that felt he had to post personal attacks on Nanog about
someone he apparently doesn't even know.

You make me want to puke.
