Dear Barbara, The email you link to has a body comprised entirely of a single negative integer. I have been accused of a “pattern of abuse” for expressing concern regarding the incorrect application of RFC 3005. The behavior or the IESG on this topic has been shocking, unprecedented and authoritarian. I believe that there is an instance of ideologically motivated corruption happening here and intend to follow up on this within the IETF. It is incredible that this is how the IESG has acted to intimidate and silence one of the only minorities that even bothered to say anything in this entire discussion. This is incredible.
