Let me clarify my last message: I was responding to a statement you had made in 
your previous message:

I take this concern seriously. As Doug Ewell has just suggested, this appears 
to be an accusation of malfeasance.

However, I have seen no evidence of any _lobbying_ against the proposal in 
L2/25-037. It was reviewed by experts in the UTC Script Encoding Working Group 
(SEW) who concluded that they did find convincing evidence of a need to encode 
any additional characters. The SEW recommendations were then review by UTC 
which did not find differently. There were no other lobbyists.

Nobody else here has been discussing this topic besides you, me and Gabriel 
Tellez who stated, “None of those listed are differences in plain text…”, which 
aligns with what the SEW concluded. That single comment isn’t what I’d call 
lobbying. My prior comments on your statements have only been that emoji and 
source separation are not relevant to this topic; and I did not materially 
contribute to the SEW recommendations on L2/25-037; so I don’t see myself to be 
lobbying. You have continued to speak up in defense of L2/25-037 (as is your 
prerogative); that is the only activity I’ve seen that resembles lobbying.

As Doug Ewell also very wisely said, accusing others of malfeasance “is usually 
not an effective way to influence encoding decisions.”

AFAICT, you are the only one lobbying on this topic.





Are you just going to be dismissing reasonable arguments like that?
