Yeah, there's plenty from around those years that I cringe when reading back over. Honestly I probably wouldn't have come to the IETF at all after that if it hadn't been for Pete Resnick at Inbox Love in 2014 (that was a weird conference) talking about how the IETF wasn't as bad as the reputation I'd heard - and that things COULD be achieved there still.

 I don't even mind arguing and having to defend technical decisions, but I had the impression back in 2014 that the IETF was 100% arguing and that no effective work could get done here - so had disengaged.

 Then Alexey Melnikov came to a CalConnect in 2016 and was welcoming about joining IETF, and so here I am!
