I have not advocated to block Russia in this thread. Go back and check.

This is why sane discussion here seems so impenetrable. You must be running out of straw.

My original complaint here was that ICANN and ALAC have been utterly myopic as to assert that the only options to deal with the situation are binary -- "Unplug Russia" or "Thoughts and prayers". Alan, Maureen and others here have masterfully proven my point by addressing that choice and nothing else. Everyone is arguing against a position I did not take.

There exist middle grounds, things that can be done without unplugging Russia, and it's to ALAC's disgrace that it never even considered them.
