Brian said in another post that he thought IP blockage sounds fair and
asked for response. Well, I've been through IP blocks and they are
pure, unmitigated hell -- all kinds of people losing their website
visibility and ability to communicate by email because one site was
taken over by some moron doing spamming. Restoring the IP is a process
because you have to do a bunch of things including detect which of the
sites on the server was violating. Try doing that with the server shut
off the Internet! I mean...how is the world is *that* fair? I can't
see any legitimate reason for an IP block in a democratic society and,
trust me, they occur all the time.
Not everyone on this list knows about this stuff and I think we should
be able to talk about it. No?

Alfredo, just to clarify, I did not meant to imply filtering/blocking was
fair, where that implies justified or right. I only meant that it
seemed understandable why ATT would engage in this behavior, not that we
shouldn't actively organize and agitate against it. I also believe we need
a high amount of clarity around the specifics of any filtering event to
best assess how to proceed. You can see via my @BaghdadBrian account on
Twitter that I've taken some steps to try and understand why it's been
filtered, unfortunately they didn't get very far.
Regards
Brian
