Well "Austin Hair", You display a profound lack of understanding of ME, it seems. I am polite until others are rude, become threatening, even a thinly veiled way, so allow me to tell you first that I do not care a whit what YOU think of me or my opinion on this or any other topic. And if others object to my opinion on a topic, sensitive or not, they can make their case and it will stand or not on its merits.
But if you think you or anyone else can intimidate me into staying quiet when I see something fundamentally wrong happening, guess again. Now to put it politely, at least to start with: Go climb a tree. -------- Original message -------- From: [email protected] Date:01/08/2015 11:30 AM (GMT-05:00) To: [email protected] Cc: Subject: Wikimedia-l Digest, Vol 130, Issue 29 Message: 1 Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 17:01:08 +0100 From: Austin Hair <[email protected]> To: Wikimedia Mailing List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Why WMF should reconsider the 3-month gender gap Message-ID: <ca+bw_fvvbcn6bm6dutawbj884a1wmfbumctbnqojvubk5r0...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 4:30 PM, mcc99 <[email protected]> wrote: > But in future, I think I'll sign in more often, esp. now that half the > WikiGods have my uid on an alert trigger now. :) I think the question is only being asked because you're displaying a profound lack of understanding of how Wikipedia and Wikimedia work, not only in your recent proposal, but in commenting on this sensitive topic. You're entitled to your opinion, of course, and you've been polite in expressing it—that goes a long way, at least with me. So please don't think that it's a matter of demanding a certain number of WikiCred points before the WikiGods will let you sit at the WikiGrownups table, or anything like that. Just understand that this issue has a lot of people on edge, and at this rate it won't be long before "politely ignored" becomes less ignored and less polite.
