I think some of Masataka Ohta's commentary in [2][3] was impolite and imprudent. Regardless, I judge censure of Masataka Ohta to be more abusive than the "pattern of abuse" being censured. Moderation in all things, including moderation. -----Original Message----- From: ietf <ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of IETF Moderators Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2022 12:18 PM To: ietf@xxxxxxxx Subject: Notification to list from the IETF Moderators team Hi all, We wanted to let the list know that the Moderators team for ietf@xxxxxxxx (described in more detail at [1]) has determined that Masataka Ohta has engaged in a pattern of abuse based on their recent messages to this list [2][3].
