We have paid RIPE fees for over 25 years now.  Maybe we have paid enough,
and only the newcomers should pay now?

Silly arguments can be made in all directions.

I've been around for a while, and helped build all this, which you want
for free now.  So, yes.  We do pay for this, and we do not complain (except
if they do silly "MOVE IT ALL TO THE CLOUD" proposals, or build ticket
systems from hell).

This is a member organization.  Every member has one vote, and pays the
same amount of money.

We're not paying for resources, we pay for membership.

If you do not want to be a member, then don't.  But then do not complain
that you can't play with the other kids.
