<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Vaibhav, As you can see I am not white. I can assure you that in English the word 'nonsense' is not a racial slur. Anyone can talk nonsense. It is not associated with any racial or ethnic group. I agree it is not a polite word but it is not racist. We are working from different mother-tongue and different cultures so sometimes communication suffers as a result. You may feel you are being bullied and you have a right to your feelings but as an observer I cannot agree with you. I have been a member of this group for many years. We may not always agree but we can disagree politely. Please do not assume that the entire group has no trust in the leadership and process. We will learn from this experience and do better. Sincerely wishing you the best.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 3, 2020 at 7:16 PM Vaibhav Aggarwal <<a href="mailto:va@bladebrains.com">va@bladebrains.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Franco, <div><br></div><div>Thanks for seeing reason in my point. </div><div>It is important the the Chair at this juncture along with the EC is held responsible.
