      <p>Nobody is asking Afrinic to manage any networks.  We're asking
        them to help those of that want to be good netizens to enable us
        to do that, by ensuring that contact can be made with other
        networks for the purposes of resolving abuse related problems. 
        My experience says that usually these disputes are between
        customers of ISPs but they insist that the ISPs should do
        something about it.  So short of me dropping your entire set of
        prefixes, I'd prefer to be able to make contact with you in
        order to look for a resolution.  Personally, I'm not worried
        about screaming insults and the like, those or nitty gritty
        issues people should sort out themselves, but what happens if a
        customer of yours is actively trying to hack on of mine?  Or the
        other way around?  Would you prefer we all just drop each
        other's routes and never actually resolve anything?<br>

      <p>I am sorry, in my opinion you're out of line here, that is
        bordering on a personal attack on Jordi, we're all trying to
        make this Internet a better place.  As is Jordi.  Whilst I do
        not agree with him on everything, what is it to you have a
        single email address that people can mail you on?  Honestly,
        nobody said you're not allowed to filter spam on that.  Again,
        you choose what is spam and not.  We're asking you to be
        responsible.  Basically by saying you refuse to publish an abuse
        contact you're effectively being an elitist stating that your
        network is so perfect that there is no reason anyone would ever
        need to contact you in an attempt to resolve a (probably)
        legitimate issue.<br>
      </p>
      <p>My response to that would be:  So why should I route your
        traffic?  Why shouldn't I just outright reject all your
        prefixes?<br>
      </p>
      <p>By enabling networks to contact each other via an abuse contact
        it enables all of us to communicate better, towards sorting out
        real issues.  If you don't want to be part of the solution, my
        personal opinion is that you should not form part of the
        internet.  My opinion is that by making abuse related contact
        more reliable we're improving the overall networking landscape. 
        You're still welcome to ignore contact you don't consider
        legitimate.  But know that that leaves us few options if you do
        ignore a legitimate issues.<br>
