Actually, the current topic is about MIStrust and making unsubstantiated 
attacks on someone's integrity.

The responsibility for fixing that problem lies with the people making the 
attacks.

Note that Milton's efforts in this area are actually financially 
self-serving, because he is jockeying for a position with a .org registry 
activity.

Oh?

You think his motives really are pure?

Fine.

Prove it.

It is always interesting to see folks fail to pursue substantive matters in 
a productive manner and then claim that those who point this failing out 
are playing a game.

That would not satisfy any of the folks claiming misdeed.

These folks have already decided that he is a problem.  Note, for example, 
the persistent failure to focus on substantiating the claimed "facts" 
against him.

Any response from him would merely provide folks with more opportunities to 
impugn his character.

If you want something useful, Barbara, start calling for Milton to 
substantiate his claims.

The questions raised in recent discussions include questions about 
NeuLevel's business acumen.  Is Rob supposed to respond to those questions, 
too?

In other words, there is no clear list of questions for him to respond to, 
and most of the questions that are being raised are entirely irrelevant to 
the matter of ICANN COI.

More importantly, there IS a list of questions for the folks who claim a 
misdeed has occurred and those folks are notably unresponsive.
