If what happens today with the last /8 is considered an abuse and the
persons taking advantage of that loopwhole are called abusers, why would
it be different in the situation of the previous abuses ?

He approved your request for hudreds of thousands of IPs, even approved
this last-second allocation. I honestly didn't know that but it can only
support my opposition to this proposal.

I'm not making it personal. For example David Hilario was very friendly
but he only approved half of what I requested for the company that had
the largest IPv6 deployment at that time.

Yes, a few years ago he approved your allocations and now he is helping
you sell the IPs. Obviously he only dreams about world peace and there
is no conflict of interests here.

Abuse, abuse abuse. This same word was used when refering to the sale of
/22s from the last /8. Why is it such a strong statement now ? Everybody
was using it on this list.

I appologize, I don't have such a deep knowledge of RIPE's
infrastructure. I confused RIPE management with RIPE board. Probably I
should have said the "guys from the top floor".

"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her".

When you accuse the 2 russians and other smaller profitors of abuse,
then I can not take it seriously. You're too big compared to them (I
hope you don't take this personally too). And now that you have shed
some light and told us that Elvis, the inititor of this proposal is the
one that approved all that outrageous allocations to you, I can only
hope for some other sane persons to see which problems needs to be solved.
