Just exactly how would ICANN proceed in "insisting" that some stuff
on *anybodies* web site be removed? What would they do if it wasn't
removed, go to court? Two seconds of thought, should you care to
expend the effort, would reveal that ICANN can't do anything about
what people put on their web sites. Two more seconds of thought
would reveal that ICANN simply doesn't have the resources to even
look at the web sites. Two more seconds of thought would reveal
that... Uh oh -- six seconds of thought. Just blew our quota.

Funny thing, that, eh?
Perhaps he should put up a "send message from Ellen Rony" form, so
that anyone could send a message that looks like it came from you.

It's not a "valid complaint". Bob Connelly can put whatever he
pleases on his web site, and there isn't a thing ICANN can do about
it. Furthermore, he has every right to put up whatever he pleases.
Yet more, he also has every right to promote whatever agenda he
favors.
