No but ORBS was not involuntary.. It did'nt make everyone on the internet use it.. It was completely up to the ISP to use it or not... If you the customer don't like it then voice your opinion with the ISP and see if they will remove it.. If not.. Change your ISP.. Freedom of Choice..... I am an ISP and I block approximately 10,000 attempted relays a day however I never used ORBS. Not that I did'nt like it, I just never used it...

people to form an opinion about you. Or about your contribution to the infrastructure, as the case may be. Do you expect movie critics to stop going to new movies unless invited?
Movie critics don't go around blocking me and my friends from seeing other movies besides the ones they want.
