Theo, the purpose of this list is how to increase female participation in Wikimedia projects. It is a tiny corner of the project that we have tried to keep focused, and if we lose that focus, we will lose subscribers.
I understand Sarah, and I meant nothing personal by what I said. I wish everyone the best in trying to find solutions to this real problem.
What I did have a problem with was people ganging up and being uncivil to someone I, and a lot of people consider a friend. Someone who might be harsh and opinionated at times, and didn't particularly pick up all the subtle references and jibes directed towards her.
With that said, I respect you and Pete a lot and will try my best to refrain from commenting on this issue and resorting to any polemics.
I hope you understood my position on this, again, I meant nothing personal. I wish everyone nothing but the best in tackling this issue.
Regards
Theo
