I must admit a certain amount of bemusement at the current debate, since
the
IETF list has, historically (although not in the last couple of years,
IIRC)
lifted for long periods of time the posting rights of certain
problematic
posters, and the sky didn't fall.
I (and I suspect others) view the current free-speech-at-any-cost idea
as
just one more sign of the decay of the IETF as a body which actually
does
useful stuff.
I don't know if they are related, but your point seems very valid
to me. IOW, from watching and reading over many years, the recent
(2?) years seems like a "crying" wish to get back to a successful
IETF, back to its hayday (or glory days), instead of what it has
become lately.
