[rpd] Transfer Policy Proposal v.3.docx

[Fernando Frediani]

Mike, I mentioned on my point that this situation only benefits brokers in
my view (which ia true).
That fact that you are a broker will not change my mind and my right to put
my opinion as it is for the other's consideration.

Get used to it, I will mention as many times I find suitable situations
that I see as benefitial only to brokers and not to the whole community,
regardless if you are involved in the discussion or not.
I didn't even insinuated anything related to youself specifically or
regarding your personal motivations, so you are making up the 'ad hominem'
stuff.
It was a pretry much generic comment.

You have no right to censor myself and any possible issues caused by
brokers is of the high interest of this forum to discuss.

Save your time next time.

Fernando
