[TLS] Re: Notice of Moderation for Postings by D. J. Bernstein

[Eric Rescorla <[e-mail]>]

Responding to the original post to avoid responding to anyone in particular.

difficult is that people feel the urge to debate the moderation decision
on-list, turning each moderation action into an argument about the action
itself. I implore my fellow WG members: please resist this urge.
