Re: [At-Large] Respectful Online Communication and Behavior

Alas at last-

This document may be interpreted in many ways, and may provoke divergent
views from people's own experiences.   The interpretation is a cross between
censorship and or learn to speak/act well.   I would chose to take
the later, as we have been a victims of schoolish behaviour and nepotism of
ICANN staff, which I hope  is not censorship then if I  have to express
that.
