wow!

so anyone who does not agree that the document should be disavowed, but who rather thinks we should work with them to expand their viewpoint to include civil society is not a right thinking individual.  yes as s civil society member who is a member of ISOC and who participates in IETF (though never having gotten to close to the IAB, though some friends serve and have served) I was disappointed in its purely  business view.  but in general I think the sentiment about technopolicy and its independence from government oversight was essentially correct.

Your absolute condemnations of all who do not agree with you seems akin to name calling.

As i praised RFC6852 for what it tried to do, though commented on a few flaws, i proudly count myself among those who you beleive are not right thinking individuals.
