Re: [ga] Alternative roots

Joe:

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion as others are entitled to theirs. 
 If you do not wish to have a discussion of what others feel is important 
or relevant to the GA and ICANN, then please feel free to not enter into 
it.  However, your opinion is not shared by all others on the list and your 
opinion may just not be the overriding opinion.

In addition, opinion alone is not what should drive the discussion.  The 
driving force should be the relevance of the issue.  There are those of us 
who believe that it is very important and could be a major factor in future 
decisions facing ICANN.  

There are topics that people are not particularly interested in 
discussing.  That does not mean they are not relevant or that they are 
unimportant.  I hope that the GA will not play ostrich or mule on topics 
that may seem uncomfortable or distasteful.  

Your post seems to say that what you think is important, but that what 
Kristy and other have to say is not.  You don't wish to discuss it no 
matter what others want.  We're all on the same playground and we all 
have the right to participate or not.
