Hehe, I would appreciate it if you didn't attack me. I have my facts and you are missing the point all together kid.

Where in my post did I specifically say your name?

ICANN runs all domains, it comes all right back to them. They are USA based, thus why the domains were seized.

I didn't see the new update on the bill and I do apologize about that, but seeing as if the bill did pass or not, they are still seizing domains. It's a done deal now.

Perhaps you should re read my post all together as well this one.

First of all, please don't call me kid again, although I realise there is nothing stopping you.

For starters, I'm going to apologise for the general tone of my message, its not fair to target you in such a way, even if I was very tired at the time.

I decided to take the time to re-read your posts and from where I'm standing I think it is probably ilogical for me to have questioned you. That being said, in critisising users for 'missing the facts' you missed my comment, which is what I objected too.

So, I decided to bring up the same point again (e.g. the assumption that the OWNERS of the domains were all likely to be US citizens, hence why TPB has not been taken) and I don't think you acknowledged it in my rant either.

I realise ICANN is US based, but that doesn't change my point. I for one, hold a .com domain whoes rank and popularity far exceeds some of the domains siezed (e.g rapgodfathers). So far it has not been targeted. The same could be said of Wikileaks, who are probably at the top of the US's hitlist at the moment.

My frustration stems from the fact that I do not wish to see my domain taken, after spending so long developing it. Although I probably have to agree with your last point, in that now the US has started going down this road, its unlikely they will stop.

I'm not sure about it being US Citizens only loosing the domains.
