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".

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.

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.

I appreciate the work/activism you do but it helps to learn the
differences in different communities.

nope, i clarified it and she understood the issues involved and asked
to be unsub'd.
While I understand the good work tbd is doing, it does not sync with LC.

umm... the problem of making a public declaration (like any other
project we too have some do's N dont's for irc/lists/etc...) is that
it gives ideas to people. 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.
