My apologies for the mistake. I’ve asked the secretariat to unblock the three threads listed below and restore Nadim Kobeissi’s posting privileges. Given time zones, I expect these changes will not take effect until Friday.

Thanks for the message and the warning.

The last few hours has seen a lot more toxic discussions from people who feel that they must be able to say anything “because freedom”.

Unfortunately that is exactly the behaviour that was the source of the problems with this thread.

I do not want to be on such a toxic list, even more so now that as a result of this IETF Chair action reversal, those people are further emboldened in their Abu’s I’ve behaviour.

I am now unsubscribing from the list.
