policing not exactly unknown in IETF but the strategy
of poisoning a debate by being disruptive is much more
common.
So is accusing well-intended people of
bad intention.
This is an example of tone-policing as a form of agenda denial.
Because Phil used the term “poisoning,” this gave Keith an
opportunity to respond to what Phil had said as if it were an
accusation, and not merely a factual observation. And so now we
are talking about Phil attacking Keith, instead of talking about
how to have good discussions in the IETF.
:(
Because citing examples of harmful communication cannot possibly
be relevant to a discussion of how to have good discussions.
