[address-policy-wg] unacceptable conduct and ad-hominem attacks

Maybe this is not a democracy but I hope most of us try to be as democratic
as possible. I was not addressing the person. I like Gert, I like Jim and
many other people. I really admire most of them. But this doesn't mean that
I should just shut up when I disagree with some ideas.  And yes, probably
my comparison is far from the reality but I do hope people can understand
metaphors.

You judging me is not less bad than me judging someone else except that, I
reapeat, I'm just addressing the facts and actions and not the people. As
an exception I brought up how Gert bend the policy for his personal benefit
and now tries to impose policies which would have not allowed him to do
what he did. But as I insisted, let's no longer discuss this subject. I do
think what he did was wrong but it's not for me to judge him so I won't.
