    This was not attack against you Elad, but argument against your
    "idea". Just because someone does not like all your ideas does not
    mean they are against you personally.<br>
    <br>
    You are not gaining any favors by spamming other RIPE members like
    this, you've been asked to stop numerous times now and it's been
    exposed this is probably an election campaign. So therefore, i would
    bet most on this list are against you personally at this point as
    well. It does not help that you have connections to some shady
    dealings like the south african IP hijacking. Neither does the irony
    of your signature ...<br>
