agreeing with John - seems to me that this is a case of the cure causing significantly more problems than the original issue. many of us over the years have been the targets of Masataka Ohta's pointed comments - sometimes the comments stung more than a bit but there was always a reason that he was commenting and ignoring the underlying reason to focus on the delivery misses a clear contribution to the discussion at hand. I also join John in asking for an explanation of what specific triggers contributes should avoid so as to not be subject to your censorship? thanks Scott > On Aug 24, 2022, at 1:18 PM, IETF Moderators <moderators@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > 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].
