    <p>Good Morning All,</p>
    <p>Let me add my salt to the meat so that I can "eat from the meat
      when it is cooked". I can see a pattern of intimidation, the
      Co-Chairs issued a caution on the inconsistency of some members in
      posting matters that are unrelated to policy, however they
      continuously deviate from the caution, this left the Co-Chairs
      with no option but to act as they did and I don't see anything
      wrong with that.</p>
    <p>But from the barrage of attacks on the Co-Chairs for the action,
      I see an attempt to intimidate them because they have sanctioned
      some person(s) of the "Sons of the Soil of AfriNIC Community".
      This is unhealthy. The Co-Chairs were elected for moderation and
      they have to moderate. We could as well live without Chairs and
      see whether we will make any progress in developing any policies.</p>
    <p>There were suggestions clearly made earlier that the discussion
      on "Cloud Innovation Displays Very Poor, If Not Criminal,
      Netizenship"" was not for this forum, but some person(s) are
      persistent on having their way to discuss non-policy matter, this
      for me is a gross violation of the rules of engagement here. To
      insist they are correct or right in their action is a further push
      to "civil disturbances".</p>
    <p>The action of the Co-Chairs is right and justifiable and let us
      stop intimidating them, whenever they take action that is
      consistent with the rules of PDWG.</p>
    <p>Simply,</p>
    <p>Daniel<br>

                        Hello Simon,<br>
                        <br>
                        You are right. I agree with the idea of
                        consistency in moderation from the<br>
                        co-chairs, it is a must.<br>
                        But the accusations of 'pattern(s) of
                        inconsistency' in this discussion<br>
                        have been vague. Personally, I do not spot an
                        inconsistency in this instance.<br>
                        <br>
                        <br>
                        @All<br>
                        <br>
                        Since my previous post on this topic, I've been
                        copied in responses which<br>
                        are neither directed to me nor relevant to me.
                        I'll love to be untagged<br>

                        <br>
                        Every mailing list is set up for a purpose, and
                        the rpd was set up to serve as the AFRINIC
                        community’s Resource Policy Discussion List. All
                        these lists are for one community, and there is
                        a Code of Conduct that guides the community
                        forums.<br>
                        <br>
                        If discussions on the list do not align with the
                        purpose, should the Co-Chairs not be expected to
                        moderate and regulate the community? Is it
                        disruptive to do what one is expected to do?<br>
                        <br>
                         You are right about one thing, “Many people
                        feel frustrated and under attack....”, however,
                        the following utterances by you are grossly
                        unguided, and indicative of malice against the
                        elected co-chair(s) and/or one or two members of
                        the community. Thus the need for moderations.<br>
                        <br>
                        I think the co-chairs are doing an excellent job
                        at curbing disarray within the community.<br>
                        <br>
