Hello Dave Crocker;-)... Again, your message describes precisely what you did to me personally over a several year period of stalking beginning with your work with IAHC and continuing into the establishment of ICANN. I finally choked it off by simply never responding directly to anything you say or do. But, here I find that you are right on the money;-)... I had been seeking a properly correct description of what you were doing, and using my theory that one's enemy often attributes to you, what he is doing himself, I now have a perfect description of the tools and the technique of your trade. Dave - I cannot thank you enough for explaining how you do it all so well. I think I will print it up and frame it on my office wall. And now back into my mode of not responding directly;-)...\s Cheers;-)...\Stef At 3:44 PM -0700 8/2/02, Dave Crocker wrote: [snip]... [snip]... [snip]... [snip]... [snip]... [snip]... [snip]...

Instead, such folk look only for reasons to attack you. They distort what you say. They find conspiracy theories to explain your actions, independent of the facts. And so on. It is nothing like the tautology you suggest. >Your words only make sense to someone who already believes that ICANN has >gone to heroic efforts to try to satisfy their criticism. If you believe >that ICANN has put almost all of its energy into obfuscation and Thank you for validating my characterization of the kinds of people ICANN must deal with. d/
