I wish to make a formal complaint about this message as well.  Abusive, 
insulting, a personal attack.

   Dear Mr. Lynn,
   
   You wax profound but you belie your true nature.
   
   Are you ready to ensure that the AT LARGE receives its' allotted
   seats?
   
   Are you ready to ensure that the general populace has a right to
   representation, as opposed to political restrictions you seem inclined
   to impose?
   
   In short Mr. Lynn your insincerity proceeds you like a rabid dog.  Do
   *********************************************************************
   not claim to be one of the caring when your every action speaks the
   *******************************************************************
   opposite.

   Where were you when my brothers lost domain names and property rights
   to IP manipulated WIPE?  Where we you when they shut off the
   inclusiveness of the WG-Review?  Where were you when my sisters lost
   50K on a lottery which was politically manipulated?  Where were you
   when the attacked our friends and comrades with other roots?  Where
   were you when they granted Palestine a ccTLD and denied others?
   
   You smell bad and the odor is of an opportunist.  My dotcommoners read

     Dear Asaad: Thank you for your thoughtful note. I am sure that I
     speak for everyone in the ICANN community that we are appalled by
     the hateful emails you have been receiving. The ignorant bigotry
     they represent has no place in our ICANN world. Terrorism, as you
     point out, has nothing to do with Islaam. Timothy McVeigh, who blew
     up the Federal building in Oklahoma City in the U.S., was neither a
     Muslim nor an Arab. It is a sad commentary that before McVeigh was
     identified, some people here in the U.S. immediately assumed it was
     a terrorist from the Middle East who was responsible. As you
     rightly point out, stereotyping is not an acceptable substitute for
     tolerance, education and understanding. If there is any small
     silver lining to the terribly tragic events of last week, it is
     that it has brought people together from across the world
     regardless of religion, culture, nationality, or other individual
     preferences. The note from you and your AINC colleagues has
     contributed to that. The events brought home to all of us that we
     are all human beings who live on a small and fragile planet that
     cannot tolerate bigotry, hatred, and evil. Many thanks to the AINC
     Executive Council for sharing your collective feelings with us. I
     am sure we all appreciate it. Stuart

     On behalf of the Executive Council of AINC ( Arabic Internet Names
     Consortium) we issued the attached statement.
     
     
     
     AINC strongly and unanimously condemns and denounces the vicious
     inhuman attacks perpetrated against innocent civilians in the U.S.
     this week. These attacks and the ideologies behind them are
     absolutely diametrically opposed to the teachings of all religions
     and to our cultural values.
     
     Taking human life gratuitously is an extremely grave sin as you see
     in the Qur'anic verse which reads: "Whosoever kills a human being
     for other than manslaughter or corruption on the land shall be as
     if he has killed all mankind, and whosoever saves the life of one,
     it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind,_"_
     (Al-Ma'idah:32)_._
     
     Our response to the hatred emails that we received earlier today is
     that we understand and share the sender's pain and indignation; and
     we are equally appalled at what transpired this past Tuesday.
     However, we should not give in to ignorant stereotyping and racial
     and cultural bigotry.  Islam, the religion of tolerance, whose very
     name derives from the word "peace", holds the human soul in high
     esteem, and considers the attack against innocent human beings a
     grave sin, You can find a multitude of verses in the Holy Qur'an
     that are to this effect.
     
     May God bless the souls of all our dead and grant all of the
     families with peace and patience and the strength to overcome
     sorrow. Our hearts and prayers to the families and we ask God to
     grant the World with Peace and Prosperity.
     
     Sincerely,
