Can you not do this thing of bad-mouthing people who disagree with you? 
(See your attitude to Cary Bass.) I seem to remember a thread with a 
very different feel. You had some support from Fred Bauder, who likes 
the idea of discussing dispute resolution. You had very definite 
opposition from me. You can call me sub-articulate all you like, but I 
don't think it will stick.

And my point is that your broad brush means the second sentence would 
self-contradict, in a welter of meddling and advocacy. If that's the 
intended remit (everything up to and including the kitchen sink) then 
there was no misunderstanding at all about the scope.
