Tim,
Your personal attack is unacceptable.
I do share frustration that Patrick seems to fight the inclusion of
RSI. However, your stated goal of trying to make the convention better
does NOT nor SHOULD NOT include the attack you just leveled. The only
way to get the convention better is for us to work together. Of course
we will have disagreements as to the best way to do so, but they are
just that, disagreements not some call to battle or flame-war.
Find a better way of communicating your concerns so we can make the cons
a better place.
Mark.
