[governance] no need to feed the trolls

Why?

Jeff Williams has been posting to ICANN and general Internet lists 
for years. You will find plenty of notes about who he is (or is not) 
and about the claims he makes.

He closes every email with a .sig that's patently untrue.  There is 
no INEGroup LLA, no 281k members/stakeholders.

You judge if you want to bother replying. I'd suggest best just to 
ignore him.  It's not about substance, some of his emails are as sane 
as anyone else's, some are inflammatory, some are just silly. As the 
subject lines suggests it's best not to feed the troll. And to use 
another online cliche... your mileage may vary.

I am not Paddy bateman,, but I agree with his/her comment.

It would also be best not to continue this thread!

Adam
