[ga] Re: List Rules and Protocols

["Christopher Ambler" <cambler-dompol@iodesign.com>]

There was no personal attack at all in my post.

I pointed out that Dave Crocker had recently expressed a
distaste for criticizing personal bias, and then expressed
my opinion that Kent's criticisms of Prof. Froomkin's
paper and person were both off-target. I did intimate
that Kent's personal comment was akin to the pot
calling the kettle black, a common American euphemism.

At no time did I make a personal attack of any kind.
