[BBLISA] I need a colocation for 10 or perhaps 12 1U machines

I'm just stating a fact. Surely a US Federal Court opinion isn't a rant.
The people listed on Vixie's personal web site are his "friends", and
often either share his views, or simply don't question his views. Its
probably safe to assume that anyone that disagrees with Vixie won't go on
that list. Surely this isn't a rant.
Av8 is not on that list, and he falsely tells people I stole IP address
space through SORBS. This is another fact. No rant there, either.
So what do you think is a rant?
As I got a bounce from your address saying our IP addresses were hijacked,
I note that you are also using his "new MAPS" (SORBS.NET). It would /seem/
that you have an axe to grind, using such an abusive blacklist, unless you
are just ignorant of its non-spam activities---which is a real
possibility---most of its users are unaware, so I apologize in advance for
assuming you already know of them.

(reason: 554 Service unavailable; Client host [130.105.36.66] blocked
using zombie.dnsbl.sorbs.net; Hijacked/Disused
Netblock See: http://www.dnsbl.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?130.105.36.66)
You can check ARIN records on this block. The OSF still exists as The Open
Group. It is a customer of Av8 Internet. One can't hijack space from a
company that still exists. Also lookup 198.3.136/21 on SORBS and ARIN. One
can't hijack space from oneself. If a "rant" is an outrageous assertion,
then it would seem that it is SORBS that is doing the ranting and raving,
not to mention defaming, misleading and lying.
Assuming you are unaware of the abusive nature of SORBS, I'll explain that
SORBS (Vixie, Matthew Sullivan, and Alan Brown formerly of ORBS.ORG)
falsely claims our IP address space is stolen. (198.3.136/21 and
130.105/16). Brown has lost 3 lawsuits over his false statements before,
but hasn't learned that lying is bad. Vixie was also successfully sued for
using MAPS to block a non-spam site. Vixie also knows better, and now has
poor (as in no assets) college student Matthew Sullivan setup to take any
legal heat for SORBS. SORBS was booted from XO before getting service
from Vixie at ISC.ORG for engaging in defamatory activities in violation
of its AUP. Strangely, (given Vixie's strenous claims that everyone
should have an AUP), ISC has no AUP.
You can see some more information at www.iadl.org.
