I certainly don't have the power to suppress anything and the suggestion is patently ridiculous. As this most odious person is no doubt well aware the mere allegation of such 'disgusting' misconduct is potentially harmful and certainly hurtful .I have children and utterly fabricated and false allegations of this nature are most unpleasant.and very hurtful to them. I have no doubt that these cowardly attacks are justified in the mind of ''those who play this revolting ''game'' on the basis that ''anything'' that can hurt or discredit ICANN is justified. I am a 'volunteer'. I am not paid in any way for my work..in fact it has had a considerable cost. I accept that as I believe this work is worthwhile. I understand that there are some who strongly disagree and are very frustrated and even angry about this ICANN process.....Then ''fight it'' but not at the expense of my children and family who are hurt by this scurrilous and completely false attack. proving your ''internet superiority'' at the expense of truth and by hurting children is probably not the way to succeed. I should point out that at least in Canada this false allegation is almost certainly criminal conduct under the Criminal Code of Canada.TO accuse someone publicly of a serious crime when they know it to be false is a Crime!If those making these allegations will present themselves in person at my office to make these charges publicly and openly I will be most pleased to deal with them under the Laws of this country. I have no doubt you will not accept ..I will not dignify any further attacks with a reply!
