Even if I *don't* participate in the list more often, I'd be more
comfortable doing so if the mod team really is going to be more aggressive
about civility.

Hi everyone,
Beria has been unsubscribed from the list. This was moderator decision,
not just on my end.
Sorry that your email box had to be the victim of this and I hope all of
you - wherever you live, and whatever your gender of choice is, can move
beyond the recent conflict.
From here on out if discussions start to get heated and we fail to live up
to [[WP:CIVIL]] [1] then the moderators will turn whole list moderation on,
and every email will be moderated until the drama llama is calmed.
Let's be grown ups, work together, and celebrate our collective passion
for wanting to "mind the gap" regardless of gender, language and location.
(And let's have fun doing it?! Right?!)
Thanks,
-Sarah

I would like to say to the moderator team - especially Sarah who now
decided to create a "WWC" initiative (and I'm now requesting her to change
the name) - to fuck off and try to do half of what Laura is doing for women
in Wikipedia..
I'm with Laura in this. If this list isn't welcoming to women from
outside USA, it failed the propose to exist. If isn't a safe place for
women, it has no reason to exist.

I am sorry to see Laura go. Her leaving the
list was not requested
by the mod team here, and was not the desired or expected outcome of
my interaction with her. She's welcome back at any point that she
would like to resubscribe.
Sarah and I have recently been approached by people in private
indicating that Laura's posting style has made them uncomfortable
participating in public discussions on this list. After talking with
Sarah, I sent Laura an email asking her to step back and consider if
her messages could make others uncomfortable before sending them out,
and asking her to take into consideration other people's feedback when
they offer it. (She's not the only member who we've sent a similar
message to.)
