Sorry, was this actually intended to me? None of what you said has anything 
to do with what I said.

I run a stable tier 2 very succesfully in an area of the world where others 
are usually not offering their services, so please don't lecture me on 
providing internet services and democracy.

Again, I understand what you mean (I think) with your 'dictionary abuses'. 
What I'm telling you is that if this is what you want to do, then strike out 
rule 3 as it is mutually exclusive with rule 4.

I can't make any sense of what you're saying with those TLDs and public DNS 
servers. It's not related to OpenNIC whatsoever.

We ask you to run a tier 1 to host your TLD not just to prove you can, but 
because it's necessary to run it.
