<div><tt>></tt>Anybody has the right to remain anonymous (right,
up

price you aren't willing to pay either.</div>

<div>What price is that? "You can be anonymous, but we don't want
you to exist in our world - not to have to deal with you, or your
ideas."?</div>

<br>
No, that's not what I said. The price you have to pay for your choice
of remaining anonymous is, that you can't be a member apparently and
therefore can't vote. What I suggested is, take it as is, without
complaining. Or better, not in the current state of voting. I simply
view it extremely unfair to send out emails with the subject line
"Anti-endorsement of..." at the generals list as somebody who prefers
to remain anonymous, non-member with non-voting rights so far. Not that
it will hinder Eran a bit, but just the act of it, is in my opinion
disgusting!<br>

<div>Now who's stooping to personal attacks? Forget diversity: who
would WANT to be (out as) a woman on the Board, when even in the
*community* people are told to be men?</div>

<br>
Well....no problem with whatever gender would be on the board. The CEO
of Mozilla is a woman too and she's gotten balls for both of us ;-)<br>

<div>The conscious decision was not forced upon me, no. But when you
say things like "pay the price you have to pay", it seems
like you WOULD, perhaps, act to force upon us consequences that are
not necessarily mandated by our choices.</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Apparently you can't contribute or be a member without full disclosure.
I didn't make those rules, but since you know them you know which price
is to be paid for the privilege to remain an alias. If you thought
about changing that you'd have made your point differently than to
attack others and at this point.<br>

<div>I was very conservative in describing the position he took,
because I do care about quoting people accurately, so I am confident
that you will not be able to find this, if you look - I *encourage*
you to look, therefore, so you can satisfy yourself that no slander
has occurred.</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Maybe it wasn't slander, but it was certainly incitement not to vote
for a nominee! Why that was specially bad I explained in the previous
mail already.<br>

<div>Any fame I've accrued is probably due to people making a big
fuss
over what is just due process, in a community such as we claim/aspire
to be. <br>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Than please explain me with which right did you incite against a
nominee? Nobody has done that - not even those with voting rights. That
has nothing to do with due process my friend. Just for the record, I'm
not known to be specially gentle and diplomatic either, but at least I
use my name....<br>
