And I felt insulted by what newspapers were writing.

But I didn't mean you. And I didn't mean Meng in first place.

If you don't know whom I was talking about then you simply don't know 
what happened
in the "history".  Maybe you should be better informed before 
considering yourself
as being insulted.

I dare. Because I have spent not less hours of work, and I didn't get 
paid either.

I don't get paid for this either, and I do not get sponsored.
I even paid the flight to and the stay in San Francisco just for being 
fooled at the
IETF last year at a time were I was unemployed, just to see other people 
placing
themselves in front of the cameras an microphones by giving false 
information.
And I will pay again the flight to IETF in August and will give my 
vacation days without
beeing sponsored. I have spent several months of work and discussion.
So don't tell me about beeing insulted.

So everybody who questions SPF or misinforming the press is unprofessional?
Inform yourself about the history of SPF before you raise such claims.

Do you know that some of the SPF defenders claimed that plagiarism was 
legitimate
because I had failed to do proper marketing for RMX? And you are feeling 
upset?
