[arin-ppml] Internet Fairness

[Mike Burns]

Hi Rob,

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that it was you who used the word troll or 
other objectionable words.

But by pointing out what you did on a public list, you crossed the line IMO.
If you think I crossed a line calling you out, so be it, I've expressed 
myself completely on the issue.

Regards,
Mike

The irony of being called out personally and accused of making an
ad-hominem attack for pointing out that someone's own organization is
not following a well-known BCP (for presumably valid and calculated
business reasons) is not lost on me.

Nor gratuitous red herrings insinuating that people have used language
that they never have.  Does that work for you?
