This is a reminder that in IETF discussions, participants are individuals,
and entitled to come to their technical positions however they want.  I'd
like to ask folks to refrain from calling the opinions of others
"meaningless" or otherwise using derogatory language. In the IETF, every
individual is entitled to put forward opinions and we debate those opinions
on their own merits, not based on the putative motivations of the
proponent.  That is standard practice in the IETF, and this WG is no
exception.
