Two ways to de-escalate this, Ole, would be:

1. Don't imply that everyone stating an opinion is doing so because they are
following a company line. If you make such statements then you discourage
people from expressing their independent opinions.

2. Don't say anything that could be taken to be an opinion on an appeal that
is in progress and implies that the appellants are doing anything other than
a true and honest appeal.

Sometimes being a WG chair is a no-win situation, and I think everyone
respects the job you do. But you can avoid shooting yourself if you're
careful.

Best,
Adrian

> +1 on this.  Also, hats off to Ole for explicitly acknowledging that this
is a vendor proxy war.

As far as I can tell this behaviour started with the adoption of the SRH
document and has continued ever since.
The SR-PGM appeal is another example of collateral damage.

It's the Karpman drama triangle playing out.

obviously political reasons.

Indeed.
How though, is the difficult part. Trying to mediate leads to being dragged
into the conflict, accused of taking sides and losing credibility.

Best regards,
Ole
