Hello dear all,
this is very disappointing and very provoking.

While I have rarely found myself in the position of defending Ms Bekele, I think that this letter is fairly innocuous.

Silly and Pointless, perhaps, but not provoking or disappointing.

With all due respect to Sophia Bekele, I think it crosses the line. This letter is sufficient proof that it is not more objective. To attack the credibility of Anne Rachel, she was personally outraged.

I have re-read it 2x and I don't see a personal attack here.

It is appropriate that ICANN Board put an end to this kind of online behavior. I think it's outrage, an affront to the dignity of Rachel Anne. it is also a lack of consideration for all African community.

The question is, she argues for what cause?

She apparently feels that that the Af*s are out to get her and she doesn't want someone affiliated with any of those orgs to fill ARI's shoes (no that anyone could do that adequately) ;-)
