   thanks,

I actually didn't say that you wrote this message (and it's pretty obvious if you follow the link). My statement was more of a general
nature and it was just *another example* of these
kind of unhelpful offending messages – this time not authored by you.
So I have absolutely no problem to explicitly state that the quoted URL
is referring to a message that you did not write and it was not my intention to suggest that.

Cheers,
 Roland

Hi,

this discussion is actually drifting away from an important
aspect. It is actually not about satire, sarcasm, first or second
language etc. It is about unprofessional behavior: there has been
numerous feedback on Dan's messages that people obviously found them
transgressing. Dan simply should have stopped continuing using satire,
sarcasm, but continued to deliberately write offending messages.
Sowing discord is unprofessional (as in the recent message here
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/last-call/UP7kNpleMnDGxbuQcc2FbEa_yOo/).

Regards,
 Roland

The IETF choses to do its work in English, though that choice is likewise not more "justified" than other choices, it's just  what the majority likes.  And we can likewise, as the IETF, choose to use a subset of English forms of communication, such that our style is most widely understood, and least likely to be misunderstood.

Yes, we (the community) can make that choice.   But we have not (yet?) made that choice, so it's currently unreasonable to sanction people for using such techniques.

(And if we do make that choice, the decision won't be made on this list.)
