IESG leadership, if you are listening.  I'm picking up Marshall's
gauntlet. 

J'accuse.

In particular, I accuse our community of allowing certain individuals
to engage in prior censorship and the chilling of technical
discussions through express and implied threats of public ridicule.

The procedures allowing free discussion are flawed.

I, as a member of this community, demand that our procedures be corrected.

IESG, IAB, and ISOC, what are you going to do to correct this
situation and allow free and unintimidated discussion?
