Who give you the power to make this STATEMENTS?

Who give you the power to STIGMATIZE other people 
in the IETF AND JET-MEMBER FORUM?

Who give you the power to THREATEN AND TERRIFY others?

Who give you the power to DENY CNNIC's effort?

Who give you the power to COMMAND others
what should and what shouldn't do?
