Sorry my e-mail doesn't end @apple.com, @google.com, etc. as that seems the only way to achieve credibility in Web Arch circles where merit no longer holds sway. I lurk, and certainly notice the disrespect accorded to the likes of Julian and Roy, despite the wild and Earth-shattering success of their prior art. > > I wish you’d brought it up earlier, to give me the chance to address > it, rather than let it fester.

But I'd also not reviewed my off-list e-mail from the then -- being ganged up on by the browser- vendor schills certainly had an impact on my attitude, and most definitely justifies my use of the term "cabal" (and disgust at IETF capture by same). If I have an issue with you as WG chair, it's as an enabler of this, not based on a personal disagreement in our past. I'm not *that* suspicious by nature, but that's my big takeaway from having learned Taylor-school networked-software architecture -- ongoing development of the Web has absolutely nothing to do with it, why should I be interested in participating when that's what I bring to the table? > > I do suspect that we’re going to have to agree to disagree, however, > on what is appropriate and inappropriate participation style. > Looks like. -Eric
