I think it is up to the chairs to control any flame wars if they truly
break out on the list. At least from my point of view most of the
discussion on the list was technical, not personal. On the other hand, I do
find people buying Google keywords to promote their negative opinion of the
discussion and people in this group being a bit silly. To be honest this is
the first time I've seen something like this regarding any working group
activity.

I did not know that this is a democracy. I thought that this group is
driven by consensus and the strength of technical arguments, not by the
number of people presenting them.
