Forget "quiet supporters" or "quiet emails". Let's count. I see
several. Only they post once and don't flame. I wonder what that means?

I guess also, it is difficult to talk when the same bullies would jump at
you if you say something off-cue.

We can continue this forever, let's move forward and see how we can
advance nanog on what tje majority of us agree on. Repeated "you
s*ck" posts.
