<br>
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.)<br>
<br>
I ask you both to be more careful of what you post.<br>

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.<br>
