Hard words. Can you prove that Andy answered their questions (whichnwas
their main point?). Accusing others of lieing is very harsh, especially if
there is nothing you can prove it with :(

Neither me nor they made that statement. Can you read?

Indeed. Their error.

Most probably.

Neither me nor they made that statement. Can you read?

He did that himself on this list already.

Well, their main point was that Andy didn't answer. Please prove that this
is a lie. I think it is difficult to prove that, and I think a public
apologize is in order.

Of course, I do not expect _reason_ from ccc people. Nor do I expect them
to be able to read, either.

What's the connection between what he did for the CCC and the qualifcations
needed to beocme ICANN director? I think there aren't, and Andy didn'T try to
clarify that, either.

However, this is my personal opinion, which you (and many others) do not
follow.

I _really_ think you should tone down quickly. You should first try to
learn the basics of discussing, one of it is not accusing people of lies
before reading carefully what they wrote.
