George, and everyone else on the list interested in productive discussions:

Perhaps by now you have noticed that Milton directs his abuse at more than 
just one or two of us?  Perhaps you have noticed that that abuse is 
frequent, consistent and insulting?

Perhaps by now you are tired of his behavior and tired of the very damaging 
effect caused by his being our representative?

Perhaps by now you feel that we need a change?

Surely there is someone who is in this group, from North America, who is 
honestly interested, as George describes, in forming coalitions?

Please do pursue this change so we can move from a tone of conflict and 
tyranny, to one of earnest, constructive discussions, and real consensus 
building.

ps.  the nice thing about the fact that Milton filters my mail is that we 
do not need to his worry about the distractions that come from his 
responding to me.  my suggestion only becomes significant when at least one 
of you decides to pursue it with the rest of the constituency group.  if 
one of you does respond -- or creates an independent posting without citing 
my own posting -- then we get an initial indication of interest in the change.
