[ga-abuse] Fwd: [ga] Your latest rant

[k@widgital.com (Kristy McKee)]

Alexander,

Why was Joe Sims not immediately punished for this?

Certainly this is a suspendable offence.

The ICANN folks have really utilized the GA as a place to slam folks this 
year with what appears to be support from you.

Very Disappointing.

:(
