John Cowan supports 3683 PR-action against Jefsey Morfin

2006-01-23 07:43:38
I wish to state my strong support for the proposed RFC 3638 PR-action
against Jefsey Morfin.

Jefsey has made life nearly intolerable for those of us on the
ltru(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org and language-tags(_at_)iana(_dot_)org lists.  Banning 
him on a monthly
basis is insufficient; as soon as the ban is lifted, he returns to his
old habits of posting endless streams of irrelevant noise, vague threats,
and other forms of mailing list abuse.  He must then be warned and then
banned again in a purposeless monthly ritual.

Filtering him out individually, as I do, is insufficient: one still must
read the polite or exasperated responses of others.  I am almost at the
point where I will filter any posting that so much as *mentions* him.

In addition, I have been the direct victim of Jefsey's spleen: he
stepped outside the IETF context to send a request to my then employer
to have me disciplined by that employer for "unprofessional conduct".
As a result, my employer ordered me not to respond to him any more,
but since I have now left that employer, I will take this one action.
I will not stoop to taking revenge in kind, as I want nothing more than
never to hear from him or of him again.
