[Chapter-delegates] FYI - ISOC statement about on Internet blocking measures in Catalonia, Spain

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Evan,

facts wrong, opinion wrong, and not asking questions brings with it the sad
consequence of not getting answers (but maybe that would be a useless
effort, right?) We will all have to rely on the official record now, which
fully belies your statements and adjectives.

It is sad that you have chosen an approach so able to add to the
divisiveness that this issue has already engendered.
