[LIST Moderator hat on]:

Replying to this because it's the last message on the list when I got a chance to look at what's been happening rather than any particular comment on this message.

This discussion has now gone well off into litigating the entirety of IETF communication policy rather than the merits of this one particular action.

As you may remember from last time we had one of these; the purpose of a last-call on a PR action is to inform the community and give the community a chance to persuade the IESG to change their mind.  From the intial posting:

The IESG plans to make a decision and is soliciting final community comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 6 July 2024 [4]. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. If sending private feedback to the IESG, please indicate if you would be open to having your comments anonymized and shared in a summary.

On that basis, please limit your responses to be substantive comments, with an eye to persuading the IESG of your position, and responsive to this PR in particular.

Regards,

Bron.

P.S. in case it is unclear, the "please" above is the kind of "please" that comes with moderator privileges behind it and I am perfectly willing to put people into a temporary timeout if they continue to bring non-last-call-responsive discussion into the thread.

  Oxford dictionary defines "attack" as: "an aggressive and violent
action against a person or place." There was no attack. Neither
aggressive nor violent. Please refrain from such hyperbole, it
really just inflames things and nothing good comes from that.

  The email Lars sent was not "an action of the entire IESG" and
it wasn't even an email from the IETF chair. It was a personal email
from his eggert.org account to the IRSG and he didn't even cc me
even though I was the subject of the email. He forwarded a copy to
me; I have the receipts.

  I am not implying I'm the victim of a personal attack (again with
the hyperbole!). It was an effort to widen my ban and since blanket
bans were the subject of my email I felt inclusion of this piece of
information was appropriate. That is all.

  Dan.
