I just have to laugh.  I find it quite funny that Mark says I "LIE" when 
the citation Doug used were my own quotes and I was responding to their 
use. 

Doug claimed that I failed to back up any of my recent 'claims' with facts 
and cited (a) - (c).  In response I sent back details supporting each 
reference and I separated them out in response to each point.

In response to Dougs (a) citation from one of my emails (above) I provided 
not 1 but 3 actual references to "back up" that comment.  The first one 
being:

Please point to the WG thread(s) where we discussed and resolved the issue 
of scoping on SEARCH?

Dougs response?  He ignored 2 of the 3 references and simply said:

Go re-read my post (a) was not about SEARCH. It was was in response
to the text you sent. Your mis quoting me again.

Well I dont know what he thought I was referring to in (a) (it was my 
comment he was quoting after all) but the undiscussed and unresolved issue 
of scoping results on a SEARCH is certainly a larger CAP issue that we 
recently found but NEVER actually discussed NOR has Doug acknowledged it 
in his rush to get to Last Call.

Instead of any actual discussion, Mark proceeds to meander around, making 
lots of disparaging comments and totally unrelated or unfounded comments 
like:

> With the RECURRENCE-ID issue you and Robert have changed your mind
> several times, 

Sorry Mark, simply not true.  Ive never changed my answer for the 
scenarios we discussed. 

Furthermore my answer was corroborated by both an analysis of the model in 
iTIP and eventually by the authors themselves.

> You started the RECURRENCE-ID issue by declaring that it was fixed
> forever.

The scenario we were discussing was the case of simple instance 
reschedules.  For that the RECURRENCE-ID never changes.  No change of 
answer there.

If you change the change the _recurrence_set_defintion_ then the 
RECURRENCE-ID "might also change" (iCalendar, Section 4.8.8.4).  This 
however was not the scneario we were discussing.  Perhaps you would have 
preferred if I qualified my answer with text unrelated to the discussion 
at the time so would have just confuse folks.  No matter, my answer is 
still the same: RECURRENCE-ID does NOT change on an instance reschedule.

If he cant change things in CAP then why are there 707 changes reported by 
diff?  Whats the rush to have CAP-12 and CAP-12-a so soon after CAP-11 if 
nothings changed?  If you honestly believe there were "thousands" of typos 
and grammar changes then I have some land to sell you...

Instead of discussing the issues raised you perfer to waste time and 
cycles with personal attacks.  Gee, you sound so much like Doug you could 
be his twin brother.  Misquoting or misunderstanding so often I have to 
laugh...

> Or at the very least post your item list (I do not think you have one).

Already done twice.  Better learn to read the postings before you reply to 
them.

I dont need to do Dougs job for him do I?  He's the editor so he's 
supposed to keep the issues list.  In fact he claimed to have done that 
already but he failed to list the 3 that I mentioned already.  On that 
same note I wouldn't dream of doing Dougs job of stalling CAP any more 
than hes already done by derailing discussion and haranguing those who try 
to raise issues; hes done a pretty good job of that so far.

Im not working on any CAP product like Doug is; I merely am making sure 
there are no glaring issues in CAP 1.0 that should be resolved before it 
goes to Last Call.

Hehehe, you must be very blissful Mark.  I made a clear proposal at least 
4 times so far.  You managed to miss that and the posted issues so either 
you are missing them intentionally like Doug or you just ignored them in 
an attempt to fire off your posting and distract from the WG from the real 
questions at hand.

Here a suggestion just for you Mark: read the postings before you respond. 
 

Ive posted both suggestions, comments and proposals.  Both you and Doug 
seem to have a flair for ignoring them. 

> WILL THE CHAIR PLEASE STOP BRUCE FROM HIS ENDLESS CRYING, LYING, AND
> ABUSE OF OTHERS!! 

Oh, another funny.  Just gotta laugh again since Im not the one whose 
stated goal is to use email bombarding to silence folks from discussing 
changes to CAP. 

Ive been a voice regarding the misinterpreting of iCalendar/iTIP and Im 
making sure that Doug does not just ignore raised issues with CAP in an 
attempt to get it out the door ASAP rather than fixing it first.  Im not 
the only one nor am I going to just wither under some comic personal 
attack that reads much like one of Dougs digressions.

Hehehe, that describes your posting to a letter. 

Now, why dont you actually read some of the proposals and issues that have 
raised before you come back and waste more cycles?  Or are you just 
interested in providing some comic distraction and deflection from 
discussion of the issues??
