In which a patsy sets out the arguments by which he was manipulated.
A large part of his motivation appears to be delusions of grandeur within an organization, the Internet Society, which, up to now, has been of no relevance whatsoever, and which has only now achieved a degree of prominence through an act of apparently naive stupidity.
- NamTaf 7y agoGood point. They claim they need the money to further in their mission to improve the internet, but they’re throwing out the one good thing they’re well-known for doing (and I’m doing so, trashing their reputation amongst the public) in order to (so they claim) bankroll other things that most people have never heard of in relation to them. That’s an incredibly shortsighted gamble and reeks of excuses.
