Members

Can i ask we close this thread.  Since it has very little substance people end up going personal and this is not the time for us to be personal.

Lets rally behind AfriNIC right now and fix our own issues as we always do.


Lets focus on our agenda this week with policy and our AGMM tomorrow.

Thanking all in advance.

regards

Sami,

Are you now implying that I am some how less African than you? Despite being raised in Africa, lived in Africa all my life and under African skies will I die?

Your message implies that I am somehow not “A real African” – please can you clarify this?

Andrew

Take it easy Mr. Alston
In some African culture, satan is used as an adjective to describe some behavior, in is some cases it even has positive meaning, but you need to be real African to got the meaning.
please try to respect the diversity of the Africans, and don't always refer the the meanings used outside out continent.

I’m sorry Alan,

But I am nothing short of appalled that you can equate the sharing of what is VALID concern to this community and the RIR system – a situation that was created by AFRINIC – because no one else created it – with openly calling a member SATAN is just – absolutely mind blowing.

Your message seems to imply that sharing legitimate concern and telling AFRINIC (referring to not just the corporate entity but the entire body, including this community) to get its act into gear is provocation that some how justifies calling someone SATAN

This is shocking

Andrew

Dear Marcus, Dear Sander,

In my opinion, the message from Marcus is a personal attack which is against the code of conduct. However, I understand that Marcus felt provoked by Sander’s message, which I think was unnecessary. (Both messages are copied below.)

I ask you both to be more careful of what you post.

Alan Barrett
CEO, AFRINIC

This is a clear evidence that you are deploying your strategy to destroy AfriNIC. This is wicked and would come from EVIL GUYS like you and your friends. Well, any search for SATAN should stop when you are met because there is no difference between you and SATAN. You shameless people, leave us (the sheep) alone for us to fix the mess you have created in this community. Disgraced bad guys from RIPE and ARIN community.
