Thank you for your decision on my Feb 11 request, with additional issues
raised Feb 14, Feb 15, Mar 5, and Mar 10. However, despite your
"serious" research, you have based the decision on (at least) two errors
of fact:
> I have also had people report to me that you have threatened
> them with lawsuits and otherwise used intimidation tactics when other

Perhaps you could give more detail on these apocryphal and anonymous
charges?

Perhaps you could specify what message to the Working Group? I cannot
find any message from me to the WG on or near that date.
Since you failed to answer _any_ of the specifics raised in my appeal,
and both of your negative findings are factually unsupported, I will
appeal to the IESG as a whole, pursuant to our Standards Process.
