Dear colleagues, I work for the Internet Society, but I must emphasise that I do not post in that capacity; neither does this represent the position of the Internet Society. On Thu, Apr 15, 2021 at 09:34:20PM -0400, Keith Moore wrote:
The other is to teach newcomers what they need to know to not be snarled at. They're not mutually exclusive.
Of course they aren't mutually exclusive, but only a culture of entitled self-indulgent old fools who are going to die out due to the inevitable ravages of age would suppose that the right approach to possible newcomers is to beat them long enough that their morale improves. If that is really the future of the IETF, then I regret any association I have ever had with it. What a horrifying plan! The IETF is simply not that important, and if you think this is the way to embrace the future I urge you that perhaps you might listen (presumably again) to Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'".
