Stephen,
For a working group chair to post text like this that (only) targets a
single participant is unfortunate, first, given how freely ad hominems
have been flowing, yet you fail to focus on them too,
Fair enough. I didn't directly do that (until just now), except
in reaction to a mail directed to me from you that I consider was
needlessly argumentative.
Perhaps you didn't notice that you are repeating the assertion but not
providing its basis. Since I've been trying to be careful to make my postings
have substance, I do not know what you are taking exception to. That makes
your repeated labeling of my efforts particularly problematic.
and second because
you offer a generic rebuke without any supporting basis.
I think this thread is a supporting basis. I'm sure you
don't. We disagree.
Stephen, where we disagree is with a working group chair behaving in this
manner at all, without feeling obliged to be both careful and specific.
From a process management standpoint, your posting therefore appears to
be seeking to undermine my participation
That's not the case.
Yes it is.
(Gosh, that was a productive exchange. See how helpful it is to provide no
actual content to an assertion?)
In what model of credible IETF working group management is that sort of
behavior by a chair acceptable.
Rhetorical question skipped.
Interesting that you take a very real and serious process question and dismiss
it so casually. Given the tenor the the group's history, it's not surprising,
though.
