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. _____ *Béria Lima*

I would like to thank the mod team for intervening, in any case.

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.)
