In other words, you have been willing to slag off the gTLD-MoU process as
having had as its *intention* to hide behind "byzantine legal processes"
when you know nothing about it.  

Your method seems to be: make an accusation based on no information, impute
bad intentions your original accusation, then see if anyone disputes it.
If their answers don't match what you want to hear, you accuse them of
being Rottweilers.
