I don't think I meant the phrase as a literal quotation, and I
probably should not have put quotation marks around the phrase.
However http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-17/mail-archive/msg00082.html
comes pretty darn close to accusing me of abusing the process as
well as intellectual dishonesty:
"I personally am disappointed that the proponents of this SRFI have
done little other than indicate it is good because it exists, while it
exists because it is good. [Our objections] haven't ever been
properly answered. ... I had hoped for a better discussion on a SRFI."
"... the SRFI process allows strategies such this to succeed in
producing final SRFIs. I hope it won't be repeated ..."
If this is not an assusation of abusing the process, I don't know what
is.
