So what is acceptable? Blocking programs and demanding that they leave the network which is an open network even though no other developer has a problem with them on gnutella..

In any case i dont think its a good reason because you do not contribute resources to the benifit of a single vendor if you do not use that program. The resources arguement doesnt hold because its P2P. You have just as much access to "resources" as other people do well it used to be that way until some people decided to block others.

There is still no good reason why blocking servents on gnutella is a good idea much less accomplish anything.

In the end it seems people here want to spilt apart the network just to please there own selfish needs. But in the end none of their ideals help gnutella or is fair to other users in fact they are doing everything that they are complaining about. Spiltting the network apart, unfair practices like blocking and not respecting the network as an open network by saying that selective programs should be kicked off gnutella..
