Re: [ga] ICANN Ombudsman Frank Fowlie tried to remove his name from CTA website

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

George and all,

  FWIW I can't reasonably determine if Frank or the CTA
and Air Canada are in the right or wrong.  As such it would
seem that based on the disagreement between Frank, the CTA,
and air Canada Frank lost in part his desire not to have the
incident made public by his own doing when he granted the
interview.  Still this does not mean nor should be construed
that his version of the incident isn't correct or misrepresented
in any way.  Perhaps though he might have taken a different
tact at the time of the incident and gotten a better result.

  From what I can decern, this whole idea or what is and what
is not reasonable discourse, written or verbal is more about
different attitudes than anything else.  Civility is a matter
of opinion and there are not truly hard and fast rules that
can 'Always' apply.

  Frank, for you I am sorry this whole mess is being so broadly
disseminated in a light from some sectors that is perhaps not
fully representing the facts as they occurred.  However it would
seem prudent at least that perhaps worrying so much about what
is and what is not 'Civil' in any form of discourse be less
considered than substance on your part as well as anyone Else's.
The use of language and lexicons varies by individual and
culture to culture as well as by individual intercluturally.  So 
attempting to set some sort of standard in this area is likely, 
if not always, a slippery slope at best.
