Thats your perogative.  However,
dont confuse persistance on issues with abuse of chairs when they disagree
with you.  I have NOT verbally abused or acosted the chairs like others
here.

Both of us have been in some heated
discussions here as most everyone can tell.  If the questions asked/rasied
have been answered then it should just be a simple matter to refer to the
proper WG thread where it was covered and resolved.  That is, if it
was actually discussed and resolved.  If not, asking again is still
a valid option.

Whenever I missed something and it was
pointed out to me, I acknowledged that publically (ie: searching for busytime
text in 10.12.1).  However that does not mean questions about it cannot
be raised.  Especially since the design and text were the product
of one person and not the WG at large.

As Editor you should be able to answer
questions about content of the draft, especially the intent of text.  If
you are unable or unwilling then we should get a co-editor or replacement
editor who can or is at least willing to try.
