I'm sorry to be blunt, but this kind of message is part of why people aren't
responding to you in the way you would like:
- People are busy and are not obligated to respond to any particular
set of comments. Demands that they respond (and whatever you
think you're doing, that's how it comes off) don't make people more likely
to respond, it makes them less likely to do so.
- It's not censorship to say that the WG has already made a decision
on a topic and that we shouldn't reopen it. That's how WGs make
progress. And people aren't obligated to provide you references
to the decision; that's what the mailing list archive is for. (See the
previous point).
As I've said before, this is a volunteer organization, and participation
requires technical effort on your part, not just demands for effort on
the part of others.
