[arin-discuss] [ARIN-Suggestions] New ACSP Suggestion 2014.10: CHANGES TO CANDIDATE SPEECHES

[Jesse Geddis]

Gents,

I’m not sure the specifics of any of this is worth rehashing. Especially on this list. From what I can tell it’s been dealt with. It was uncouth and inappropriate at minimum. To argue it has zero impact is naive. Especially in the broader context of the other discussions we’ve recently had regarding term limits and other issues related to elections. Owen, I’m not sure why you’re lashing out at folks here. Perhaps taking some deep breaths and heading to bed may be in order. Lets let things simmer down.
