csiph is not a CDN nor claimed to be, it's a single PoP done on my own 
time and dime for 15 years.  And also trivially observable currently 
serving around 10-30 million articles a day, making it one of the 
busiest free text readers.  Meanwhile you are using someone else's system.

Multiple public talks, again trivial to find.  NANOG is concentrated 
with people that configure and operate network devices, not software 
developers.

You're going off again on things you have no idea about, convinced you 
are right with your Dunning-Krueger twin.

The root point remains, if you have some notion of how a peer should 
look to peer with you, deal with it privately or simply disconnect them. 
  Making a public spectacle with poor technical judgement to attempt to 
shame people is sheer idiocy.
