[ga] Out of the Blue

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dearest Matthew and Joe,
 
Well it would appear that someone pissed someone off up toward ICANN bigwig 
land.  Looks like the Patrick Jones scenario all over again. I had already 
taken the appropriate action and censored Joe for naughty written conduct here 
on the GA List.
 
Clearly Matthew posted the listed and referred to email. Clearly the language 
used in that posting is not a per se violation of any of our rules as approved 
by the GNSO, with Avri acting as Chair.
 
I question the legal advice that Mr. Fowlie must be getting. What he is doing 
is exactly what Andrew McGlaughlan the Counsel for ICANN told ICANN not to do. 
If ICANN censors and edits what can be placed on this list they become a 
publisher. So now I guess Fowlie is our editor-in-chief and responsible for 
content herein.
 
They invited attendance at a face to face. I will attend as sitting chair de 
facto and will present your point of view if you would like. Although I must be 
realistic and assume they will retract that offer.
 
I remain at your service here in the great southern California Home of ICANN.
 
Eric Dierker

 I'll be the first to admit that I don't exactly hold a candle for Joe but that 
was my email  ...  If there is something wrong in it (and apart from Joe who 
probably has a legitimate complaint that I'm not exactly being nice to him, I 
can only think that it is the last paragraph that might upset ICANN), surely it 
should be taken up with me and me banned, not Joe?
