It's not my fault you chose to say no one email, and then change your story now. My complaint was that someone who hasn't read the relevant documents should not be blindly criticizing the process pure and simple. I'm not taking a position either way DESPITE having read these documents, but I think it's worth having reasonable discussion, free from seemingly frivilous exchanges, which this now appears to be. <snip> <Re: Petition to the IESG for a PR-action against JefseyMorfin posted> Harald: > > PS: I recommend reading both RFC 3683 and a selection of Jefsey's > > messages before making up your mind about the case.... > Julien: > I haven't, and I'm not even sure I care. > I'm worried about the process, and about the number of times > it seems to be invoked. </snip> -Tom
