Joe Sims has responded to criticism from John Gilmore, on Dave Farber's Interesting People-mailing list. Sims states that Gilmore "doesn't have a clue about most of what he is talking about, and thus his views are basically worthless." Sims writes: "Since John Gilmore chooses to use my name in his imaginary history of how we got to where we are, I thought it would be appropriate to lay out the real facts. ... Perhaps Gilmore once had something to offer of value, but that does not include either political science or history. ... [Gilmore's] greedy lawyer canard ... simply reveals [his] lack of understanding of the law business. ICANN: Response to John Gilmore from Joe Sims |
