You are right… For example, the UA could have chosen to fight Mr. Putin as they have,
or I suppose they could have allowed their country and culture to be destroyed and
annexed into Russia as Mr. Putin desires.

Most of the time when people say “there was no choice”, they really do mean that the
contrasting choices were so stark as to make one choice obvious vs. the other being
completely unacceptable.

So you suggest what alternative? In the face of the various gross misdeeds by the
AFRINIC board, including their tampering in the election to avoid a free and fair
election bringing forth candidates which would not necessarily support their continued
corruption, what alternative other than litigation exists that would be equally palatable?
