I'm sorry Ira, but I have to disagree. There is (IMHO) one very obvious
course of action to be taken in such a situation. As a matter of fact I am
actually suprised of the maturity oif the list - I would have expected
that a great big thread will arise that discusses this issue, beating it's
dead corpse on and forth without actually achieving anything and instead
it seems that the list as whole understood that mincing words here is not
the right solution.
I believe that JBA has at least one point where he is right: regardless of
what I or any one think of you or any other member of IGLU, it remains
just that - an opinion. Since there is no official body of IGLU, JBA has
the right to the domain as much as anyone else.
The solution is, I think, quite clear. I do think however that this is a
time for action and not words, therefor if you'd like to hear more details
send me a personal email. If something actually comes out of it, I'll
publish it here on the list.

Don't depair too soon, there are much worse time on the way ;-)

Giving up is for people who have something to lose. Luckily, I don't
have a life ;-)
