[ga-full] Re: [ga] [Admin] Complaint about William Walsh' recent posting

[Dnsipv6@aol.com]

Harald and everybody else,

  I live in a country that guarantees freedom of expression and speech.
That is the American way.  The ICANN and the DNSO as a part of ICANN
are bound by US law.  Telling people how they can express themselves
on a public mailing list including this one is in violation of my right
to express myself as I choose.  Same goes for William, you or
anyone else on this list.  If that is not good enough for you than
you list rules are bordering of illegal activity on purpose.  I find that
despicable!

 The posting was clearly (to me) outside the boundaries for acceptable 
 behaviour that the rules attempt to draw.
 
 He has promised to try to voice his opinion of Joop Ternstra, when he 
 voices it, in a manner acceptable to the list; it is not the business of 
 the list monitor to attempt to change what people think, only how they 
 express it.
 
 The relevant parts of his response are:
 
 ....
 
  >I will however, make an honest effort to tone down my messages to the GA 
list

 .....

 As list monitor, I regard this message as sufficient documentation that my 
 warning has been heard and understood, and will take no further action at 
 this time.
 
 Any later occurence of such messages from William Walsh will be dealt with 
 appropriately.
