As it is so obviously demonstrated that requiring to be "civil" can and do mean unacceptable censorship, why do some of you bother to keep discussing about "which behavior is appropriate or not"? It is obvious that behavior of management people to require rest of us to be "professional" or "civil", whatever it means, is not only inappropriate but also unacceptable. Instead, rest of us can and should enjoy freedom of speech without being disturbed by censorship attempts of unprofessional/uncivil /immoral/unlawful management functions, which shouldn't be functions originally expected for SAAs. Remember that SAAs were provided against highly commercially motivated people seeking for alternative DNS root but *definitely* not beyond. Masataka Ohta
