[anti-abuse-wg] Introducing the RIPE NCC Report Form

[...]
> You really need to develop a consensus in the community first

The constant fallback on 'consensus' is a) the root cause of RIPE [NCC]s inertia and b) in cases like this sadly one of its most valued principles and thus unchangeable. Catch-22, no action, no change.

I consider RIPE, more than anyting, a democracy. Alexis de Tocqueville has written some excellent work on the dangers of democracies. “In America, the majority draws a formidable circle around thought. Inside those limits, the writer is free; but unhappiness awaits him if he dares to leave them. It is not that he has to fear an auto-da-fe, but he is the butt of moritifications of all kinds of persecutions every day.”

QED.
