I normally hate +1s, but I would like to echo this. Really exceptionally
well crafted, and even for people following it's a very good writeup. Thank
you, Sue.

A lot of things I think about, and I'm sure a lot of other people here
think about.
I'm sure this blog won't be well received on other WMF-related mailing
lists, but, I have to admit - for me - I feel like she's speaking for me.
I don't want to be a censor, I just want people to have common sense, good
judgement, customer service and logic. And when people call *me* a censor,
it's just as offensive as the other names I've been called.
I have beencalled a prude, bitch, agitator, bore, conservative, censor,
"anti-woman"... someone with an agenda...etc. I can only thank you Sue for
speaking on behalf of me - when I clumsily try to express myself on
Foundation-L and fear being shot-down and having my "Wiki" self-esteem torn
down.....I just feel like "giving up."
Thanks. And I promise everyone, some of us are working towards this, and
working towards a change and a towards a conversation that is adult, logical
and respectful.
