call of order

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand]

Jefsey,

I take it that you are appealing to me in the role of list owner/moderator.

I must regretfully conclude that you have the wrong impression: most of the 
current tension and anger on the list is caused by the way in which you 
choose to couch your arguments, your seeming unwillingness to listen to 
others, and your continued insistence on dragging in issues (like IDN) that 
are irrelevant to the particular purpose of this list.

Consider this your public warning. If you choose to continue to behave in a 
fashion which continues to cause disruption of the list, I, acting as list 
manager, will accede to the multiple requests for your suspension, and 
suspend your posting rights to ietf-languages at alvestrand.no, citing the 
principles set forth in RFC 3934.

                 Harald Alvestrand
