[ga-abuse] Re: [ga] Terrorism, Joanna, Is Seriously Off Topic

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

Please tell me how this is off topic as it relates to domain names being 
sold to US embargoed countries by US registrars?  ICANN is still a US 
corporation and many of the registrars are also US based.  It is not 
outside the scope of this list to discuss those issues.

Also, how is Joanna's "unpleasant" attitutude different from those set 
forth by many others?  Where is the emotional underlay different from 
many, many others' posts to this list?

Where does it seem to indicate that Joanna's "agenda" is different from 
the majority of the GA when it comes to individuals rights?

Please show me where there is an attempt by Joanna at a political 
power grab?  What I have seen is a somewhat passionate attempt to 
participate in a forum by an individual who does happen to represent the 
views of individuals, whether that attempt is a personal one or one 
endorsed by the GA.  I truly fail to see what one individual out of the 
total number of TF members can to to grab power.

I just don't see it.

It seems to me that every time an individual is willing to give the 
passion, time and effort to areas where individuals need a voice, that 
willingness is shunned or totally discouraged to the point where he or 
she gives up.
