Re: [ga] Throw-away PR - is that what you want?

["James Love" <james.love@cptech.org>]

Thomas, this is really over the top.   What is the point of these personal
attacks?  William asks, is the GA voting going to have PR value for those
seeking a rebid?  Any honest assessment to that question (on list, off list,
to your mother, take your pick)  would say:  well, if the vote supports a
rebid, yes of course it will.    If it goes against a rebid, of course it
won't.    How would you answer his question?  The same way I answered it or
differently?

Do people care what the GA does?   I would hope that people do care.  You
don't?    Am I missing something, or is this some zany exercise to ensure
that the GA doesn't discuss anything of any information value to anyone on
the planet?   Why did you campaign to be the Chair of this organization, if
no one was supposed to pay any attention to it?
