In my defense I was in college at the time, and I did actually run some tests to ensure my understanding of the firewall was correct. I just didn’t even think to account for ipv6 or especially for that range having different firewall rules.

Unlike the other poster, I'm not going to blame you for getting things wrong. It happens, we all were learning at one point. But I do think it's incredibly unreasonable to use a mistake you made as an argument against IPv6. This would be like if I rm -rf'ed my Linux box into oblivion when I was first learning and then avoided Linux after that because I had bad vibes about it. Sometimes you need to accept the L and not blame the tools.

Have you tried setting up an IPv6-only LAN?
