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.<br>
<br>
If there is anyone who does not know me or who has any doubts - I
will be happy to engage with you directly.<br>
<br>
I also think that the trust of this community is far more
important than some small financial victory in a court of law.<br>

are trying to defend yourself by
saying that a review was done many months before which
would be your Statement
of Interest that was declared in March 2012. The point is
that you have not told us if
there has been any Conflict Review following ICANN's
receipt of DCA's letters,
and if there was the outcome of any such review. So
please, the issues raised is after the
fact.</span> </div>
