Dr. Nii N. Quaynor and all,
You use of the term "Grateful" in respect to the IDNO being recognized
as a constituency is absurd here. I hope you will retract that comment
with the use of the term of "Grateful".
Whether or not Lawyers are part of the GA is not in question. I
support and encourage their participation. But to bow to any
lawyers wishes as a matter of pressure, is another situation
indeed, and this is what I believe Joe B. was referring to in respect
to your known behavior. The incident to which Joe B. Refers
to is in the GA lists archives, I just looked it up myself...
Again Dr. Nii N. Quaynor, you attempt here at "Political Spin" is
not sufficiently convincing to me at any rate to allow for any support
for your nomination. In fact I strongly oppose it, and question those
that seconded your nomination as well for reasons that I have already
clearly and definitively stated, and Joe B. , and Mark Langston have
already pointed out as well.
