> might is right. Get over it.

That's a good summary of the UK's response to the UN, but we are allowed to disagree. We are allowed to have moral values that are not enforced at the end of a gun. I'm sad that you don't.

And when it comes to the global organization of the Internet, politics is important. Politics is why the fad for .ly domains in link shorteners allowed links to be censored by Gaddafi's government.

And politics is presumably why the UK controls this ugly stepchild of a TLD* and doesn't care about it enough to put competent people in charge of it.

*Unfortunately, I use it too. .com and .org are in an end-game where everything belongs to the domain squatters.
