<pre wrap="">I'm not organizing an IGC meeting in Bali. I wouldn't have minded doing
so if it had been requested politely, but the tone of Bill's posting,
together with the fact that he hardly ever deems me worthy of any
interaction except in the context of attacking me, doesn't let it
appear likely that such a meeting would turn out to be friendly or
productive. Frankly, just doing what is required in regard to this list,
which according to IGC Charter is the IGC's priority working space, is
already exposing me to so much hostility that I am not willing to
expose myself to additional hostility by organizing a meeting that would
quite likely be full of it.

Most people's bark (on this list) is far worse than their bite (in
person). Something about the governance list just brings out the
oaf in people.*<br>
<br>
* That's not a comment about Bill, whom I don't find oafish
on-list. Nor on you, who have been extremely long-suffering and
gone beyond the call of duty in many ways. In fact it's not even a
comment on whoever is reading this, only about everyone else. ;-)<br>
