Ian,

You are one of the people I most respect and admire in this
project. And that, believe me, is no small feat. Your contributions,
socially and technically, are tremendous.

But the style of communication you have taken on this debate is very
toxic and very not constructive.

Please, *please* consider not sending messages that have as their only
goal to state again what has been stated so many times. Repeating them
will not make them more palatable.

I don't know (nor really care) whether this could be put formally as a
complaint regarding CoC abuse. But please, human to human: You have
made your point. We are halfway through a GR on the topic. Let it
rest. We don't need more poison in the lists.
