      Hi everyone,<br>
      <br>
      Beria has been unsubscribed from the list. This was moderator
      decision, not just on my end. <br>
      <br>
      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. <br>
      <br>
      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. <br>
      <br>
      Let&#39;s be grown ups, work together, and celebrate our collective
      passion for wanting to &quot;mind the gap&quot; regardless of gender,
      language and location. (And let&#39;s have fun doing it?! Right?!) <br>
      <br>
      Thanks, <br>
      <br>
      -Sarah<br>

                      I am sorry to see Laura go.   Her leaving the list
                      was not requested<br>
                      by the mod team here, and was not the desired or
                      expected outcome of<br>
                      my interaction with her. She&#39;s welcome back at any
                      point that she<br>
                      would like to resubscribe.<br>
                      <br>
                      Sarah and I have recently been approached by
                      people in private<br>
                      indicating that Laura&#39;s posting style has made
                      them uncomfortable<br>
                      participating in public discussions on this list.
                       After talking with<br>
                      Sarah, I sent Laura an email asking her to step
                      back and consider if<br>
                      her messages could make others uncomfortable
                      before sending them out,<br>
                      and asking her to take into consideration other
                      people&#39;s feedback when<br>
                      they offer it.  (She&#39;s not the only member who
                      we&#39;ve sent a similar<br>
                      message to.)<br>
