As I explained to her too, LC is mainly for women in libre s/w. We, as is deal with a lot of negativity and each time she posts its not worthwhile to play "guess who wrote this". > I don't think I even > can recognize more of you than "va" from the silk archives, http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09746.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09748.html and the world's most loved search engine: http://www.google.com/search?q=svaksha&btnG=Search&hl=en hth. > especially, if *you* are > the one that shut me up at FOSS LC session :) (re: *you*: based on > your earlier mail indicating you were on stage) The last time (@age 10) i used "shutup" i was ticked off by an elder :-/ Well, anyone calling a group of women "chickens" needs a refresher course in social behaviour but Kavita clarified that that was another person. Does not help that you both look similar. > We can flag something of interest or sometimes even annotate a discussion. > Few times, there is collaboration in responses.

Maybe 'pretense' is a strong word to use but that (collaboration in responses) would definitely not be acceptable in a forum set-up for women. Each individual has a certain (communication) style and given the nature of the forum (LC) its not laissez-faire, rather a contrast vis-a-vis Silk which you would have surely known. > Also, when you are into activism or such.

Over the years I've seen enough craziness to deal with so we discussed it with the LC admins and did the needful. fwiw, i could have unsub'd him/her/them a long time ago, sans discussion, but wanted to hear him/them out.
