I would rather that we return to being civil to each other. I ask that we keep this discussion courteous, factual and avoiding personal attacks. I would ask that those who feel they are being attacked to take a deep breath, reply, if you must, in the way you would like to be addressed and if possible just absorb the blows. Being a punch bag *is* a necessary attribute of being a WG Chair. Also remember that most people on this list do not have English as their first language. It is possible to say things in all innocence that come across badly. Always assume that what has been said has been said in innocence. Nigel On 25/11/16 14:32, Randy Bush wrote:
