[AfrICANN-discuss] Re: It's like that in life, there are always bad players and bad losers!

Ms Ma

I am not the sort of person who threatens defamation actions for the 
ludicrous. Trying to bait me into a conflict situation on a mailing list 
will not work any more than making false and factually incorrect 
allegations. Call me names, make baseless allegations, use innuendo, lie 
.... I don't care. There are people on this list who know me and my 
integrity.

If there is anyone who does not know me or who has any doubts - I will 
be happy to engage with you directly.

I also think that the trust of this community is far more important than 
some small financial victory in a court of law.
