[governance] Fwd: And Now the Second Battle of the Internet

[michael gurstein]

Whatever the source, this kind of personalized attack/characterization
should not be allowed on this (or any) list.  It only serves to belittle and
intimidate and stifles free discussion and debate which should be the
objective of our activities here. 

We should be dealing with ideas and arguments and not who or how to describe
individuals neither by their beliefs nor more than by their physical or
other characteristics.

Would the coordinators please intervene to remove this type of behaviour
from the list.  We can and in the past have had spirited dispute and
discussion without resorting to this type of activity.

(And if any of my interventions in the past could be interpreted as having
had the character of the above I retrospectively apologize and will most
certainly endeavour to not to do so in the future.

Ah, logic...

OK, McTim, Diego is trying to understand the concept Suresh employs to
characterize someone among us, not to discover whether we have one among
ourselves... :)
