Yahoo! News reports:
France strongly attacked the US-based body that assigns Internet addresses on Wednesday, saying it was not a fit venue for Internet governance and that alternatives should be sought.
The Eurozone's second-largest economy has been at war with the body, which assigns domain names like '.com' and runs crucial Internet infrastructure, over the '.wine' and '.vin' suffixes being rolled out as part of an unprecedented expansion of domains.
ICANN did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But earlier this week, ICANN's president Fadi Chehade said that France had not yet exhausted all avenues to voice its concerns, and that it should do so. "We all get frustrated sometimes when we don't get the conclusion that we want," he told a press conference.

I had high hopes for this site, but comments like this being modded "Informative" sure makes it look like a joke. What a shame.

If you never hear things that you consider low or uninformed then you are likely in an echo chamber. A high mix of people makes for many viewpoints and perspectives. Of course not all perspectives are right or even useful. But that is really up to individual readers to decide.
That being said, judging the entire site (which includes me) by this guy's comment and mod is heavy handed : ) It would be nice to see who modded what though. Not sure what is gained from secrecy?
