I think this is a key point.  It seems that co-co's react only to
negative comments
from one part of our "political" spectrum, as per Milton's comments.

Agreed.

What Suresh made was a political comment along the lines of "People
who divide us from our allies in IG processes shouldn't represent CS
in those processes."  It was NOT (IMHO) a personal attack.

If the co-co's deem it so, they should perhaps take a second look at
the following text that did NOT come from Suresh:

"One keeps hoping that you and your ilk will one day learn to conduct
an open host discussion in the democratic tradition. I am sick of this
kind of petulant contemptuous responses"

"host" in the above later clarified to "honest".

I ask the co-co's...is this NOT a far worse "personal attack" than
Suresh's request to our FP?


In other words Naresh, I agree, "prosecution" does seem to be
selective, and not in the best interests of the IGC.
