Michael,
Are you really this dense?
Michael, your comments below are WAY out of line, and I demand an apology.

I never said you did.

No Michael, I had just as much as ANYONE to do with ANY DNSO process. I
understood EVERYTHING with the DNSO, and as I pointed out, I was a supporter of
this process during and even after both meetings, even if I was not able to
attend either of these hastily arranged meetings. What you fail to point out
is that EVERY SINGLE complaint I made, you ended up making yourself a couple
weeks later. Yet you have the audacity to attack me in this fashion? Who here
is the arrogant one to think that only when YOU made these criticisms they were
valid?

Michael, I ALWAYS knew what was going on, and it should be noted that EVERY
criticism I made of the DNSO.org ended up being made by you a couple weeks
later. If I didn't know what was going on, it sure seems I hit the nail on the
head. Does it bother you that I saw the writing on the wall before you? Is
that it?

Just because someone didn't attend a meeting doesn't mean they had nothing to
do with the process, and if you think that you are the self important one.
Michael, I'm sorry, but your actions above are NOT one of a representative of
users.
Further, people on the same side should not be attacking one another with
unwarrent attacks.
Your comments demand an apology. A public one.
