[AusNOG] A thoughtful note

Making public accusations of criminality is actionable if, after due consideration,
it turns out that your speculation about who this person is, what they have been 
accused of doing, and whether the accusations have merit, is revealed to be wrong.

It’s also pretty aggressively reckless to use this forum to kick over these coals
without knowing whether the AusNOG Directors’ insurance policies cover defamation.
Shoot your mouth off, and who might lose their house is anyone’s guess, eh?

I suspect AusNOG is not the place to make these accusations. Perhaps if you want
to expose mailing list operators like that, do it on a list that you, personally,
operate.

"Stop thread?"
