George has a point though, that we are losing sight of an important goal with a fast approaching and non negotiable timeline. 

And the discussion and civil society coordination around the Bali agenda and events has to happen somewhere. 

However it is doubtful whether a community riven by ideological differences that periodically escalate into personality focused arguments will be able to achieve the degree of trust and coordination required.

To be honest, this is the typical mail which triggers very strong 
pulsions to react ad-hominem.
To be honest, I will resist the pulsions.

But I do wonder if it is not ostrich policy (or homeostasy) to ask so 
abruptly to focus back on IGF meeting when some debates about the big 
picture are opened as a consequence of "ad-hominem" matters being 
thrown into the list.
