I'm sorry for not posting this sooner.
Carol Moore dc: I was sad to learn that you had been banned or barred from
Wikipedia. You edited a lot of the libertarian and more right-wing
flavored political articles, and did a very good job of it. I am surprised
that anyone would have a problem with your editing work. I was in
respectful awe of you, as you were so authoritative and seemed
well-regarded by even the most hard-core Rothbard and Mises fans, many of
whom have strong opinions and are devoted followers of the subject matter.
I mean no disrespect by this, as I have edited some of the Austrian
economics articles and BLPs too.
Lightbreather: I actually was getting to know you a little bit, and am so
sorry to learn that you have been harassed into retiring. That is just
awful of them.
There are so few women who edit Wikipedia, and even fewer people who edit
what I consider serious topics that it is a terrible shame to lose two who
were subject matter experts. Yes, we are all equal in Wikipedia (yadda
yadda...except when we aren't) but there aren't a surplus of editors who
write well and know what they are talking about, of either gender.
I use LinkedIn and am looking for work right now. I would be horrified if
what Risker described happened to me:
"I've had to have three separate LinkedIn accounts purporting to be me
taken down over the last 8 years, for example; others have had their
personal images and names attached to accounts on porn sites, paid editing
sites, and a fair number of other unsavory sites..."
