While it is obviously used to move an agenda forward, its not always
pretty, nor fair when it happens and it hasn't been convincing of

If someone is carrying out a denial of service attack against an
someone on the IESG, recommending that they filter someone who has
proven that they are lacking in clue doesn't seem to me to be the same
thing as a "private club".
