[governance] RE: On the seriousness of threats (was Re: abuse...)

[Dominique Lacroix]

Hi,
Sorry to disturb you.

I propose a new game for the week end.
Let's imagine: Parminder and Milton (just as examples) both alone on an 
isolated island, without any witness. And they try to define what was 
the Internet, where they met in a past life.
My own imagination is: neither of them would try to have the other one 
losing face. Because it's unpleasant to dine with a faceless man.
Even they could find an agreement, because they have to hunt together.

@+, Kind regards, Dom

I simply pointed out that this issue has been discussed for nearly a decade, and that there were more nuanced ways of looking at it. No need to repeat myself for the third time here.
