There is a code of behavior among attorneys and presumably their clients that promotes the calm and reasoned discussion of issues. That code does not allow anyone to insist to anyone else that certain "questions" be answered. There is simply no obligation by anyone to do so short of a subpoena.
IETF participants generally have reasoned discussions about technical issues. There is no obligation to answer questions which fall outside the process.
At some point, IETF needs a policy to shut down some insulting communicators for the welfare of the other IETF participants. I've apologized before when I crossed the line in my emails. I wish now that Todd would apologize and shut up, or that IETF enforce a formal policy to shut him up.
Posting rights can be revoked if a participant is disruptive or his/her conduct is unprofessional.
