Re: [ga] [ADMIN] Four Week Suspension of Eric Dierker

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

Ken, 

I rarely agree with WXW, but in this case I must.  It seems that 
when certain cliques do not like what an individual has to say, they 
attack by calling for suspension of the poster.  This is true on all 
sides of an issue. 

Personalities differ and so do posting styles.  The GA is the last 
place where posters should be penalized for passionate 
statements of position.  For many individuals, it seems to be the 
only place left to voice their frustration at being excluded from 
ICANN processes and are demanding a voice.

I, personally, do not care for some of Erics rants.  OTOH, I will 
strongly advocate his right to them.  To me, much of it is noice and 
could be so much less verbose.  OTOH, it is his style.  My 
suggestion to those who do not like these posts or who resent the 
style, use yoru filtering techniques to avoid them.  This is not a 
"private" list.  It is open to the public.  Let's deal with it.  His posts 
are not off topic as he is discussing domain names and the public.
