This may or may not be true, but it is completely irrelevant to the
matter at hand with respect to Mr. Glassey's behaviour. To quote from
RFC-3005:
In addition to the topics noted above, appropriate postings include:
- Last Call discussions of proposed protocol actions
- Discussion of technical issues that are candidates for IETF work,
but do not yet have an appropriate e-mail venue
- Discussion of IETF administrative policies
- Questions and clarifications concerning IETF meetings
- Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are
sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or IETF.
Inappropriate postings include:
- Unsolicited bulk e-mail
- Discussion of subjects unrelated to IETF policy, meetings,
activities, or technical concerns
- Unprofessional commentary, regardless of the general subject
- Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are not
sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or IETF.
In the judgement of many, but most importantly including both
Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. Glassey's has crossed the line in terms of
inappropriate mail postings in multiple messages, forming a pattern of
abuse. To quote further from RFC-3005:
The IETF Chair, the IETF Executive Director, or a sergeant-at-arms
appointed by the Chair is empowered to restrict posting by a person,
or of a thread, when the content is inappropriate and represents a
pattern of abuse. They are encouraged to take into account the
overall nature of the postings by an individual and whether
particular postings are an aberration or typical. Complaints
regarding their decisions should be referred to the IAB.
Mr. Glassey has been warned twice now, and has rejected more gentle
messages intended to dissuade him from continueing his abusive
behavior. If he persists, appropriate action will be taken to
restrict his posting rights per RFC-3005/BCP-45.
Regards,
- Ted
