I think you wrote:
"Some domains argue that nobody is allowed to forward".

I respond that this is not the case, in other words I don't think it's
true that SPF wants to stop forwarding.

Here you say it again.  SPF does NOT say "no forwarding".
SPF _does_ say: "No spoofing my name".

If you want to forward then that's fine.  Just don't use my name
as the _sender_ of _your_ message.

I needed to look this ("non-sequiturs") up and I don't see why you
want to choose this word.
