I agree on this front, and have considered the censorship aspect
before, but Dmitry is the one proposing and he has yet to provide a
convincing argument himself, instead just calling OpenNIC afraid.
That's right out of the bullying handbook, re. "What are you,
chicken?". Now, I assume that's not the intention, and like I've said
I'm not currently against the TLD, but I'm not exactly for it either
with what Dmitry has put forth. It may be worth just putting it to a
vote next week and seeing how people feel, unless Dmitry has something
new to add other than just reusing stale idioms and saying we're
afraid.
