I'm becoming confused with this thread: Is a technical solution being proposed? [Note: technical disagreement is fine -- that's how ideas get improved. However, if a solution is being proposed here, then I'd love to see an I-D explaining it. In any case, I've somehow failed to understand that proposal so far.] -----Original Message----- From: Dean Anderson [mailto:dean@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 3:19 PM To: ietf@xxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Apology Re: Principles of Spam-abatement Did anyone expect professional behavior from someone who doesn't have an AUP on their own sites, someone who supports demonstrated abusers, someone who associates with court-proven liars, and someone who posts misleading information about their own legal experiences? I didn't. Clearly, technical competence does not equate to honesty and integrity. It also does not equate to professional conduct. And of course, those who lack intelligence to make sensible arguments have to resort to name-calling. I'm surprised it took this long to resort to name-calling. --Dean On 18 Mar 2004, Paul Vixie wrote: > egerck@xxxxxxx (Ed Gerck) writes: > > > Dean, > > > > I'm not gonna feed the troll. ... > > NOW you're not gonna feed the troll? where's the "...any more!" ?? > > it does me no good to filter out postings from known whackjobs if you > and others are just going to reply anyway, often including the very > drivel that i'd avoided having to look at directly. > > please show some self-restraint. >
