I kinda-sortta feel like many others who have posted here. This is a mail thing, not netops. Grow a pair and post under your own name. Is it even on-topic for NANOG? Etc. I even started typing a message to the effect of: "even though I don't like SORBS, they should be allowed to publish a list and let others do as they please". But then I realized, that is all this anonymous person is asking. Or at least it could be. If "iHate SORBS" wants to create a (another?) list of prefixes which should not be routed, and put SORBS on it, he (she?) should be allowed, just as SORBS should be allowed to have a list of mail servers SORBS doesn't like. Then each operator can decide whether to implement a block based on the list or not. Your network, your decision. Of course, I fully expect no one to implement the block. But that is no reason to deny the ability to create the list. Now, I feel like quoting Pastor Niemöller so we can end this thread. :)
Not to mention it's bad enough with congress trying to pass laws to make us network operators police the Internet, I don't need to police SORBS on top of it!
