Why WMF should reconsider the 3-month gender gap - Wikimedia-l

11 Jan 2015


      Actually, Gerard, you are the one coming across as entitled, possessive,
and aggressive.
mcc99 responded to a profoundly patronizing post from Austin Hair with a
bit of ill temper. We don't need to hear big clique guns booming over the
matter, just drop it.

I do not care one whit who you are or why you think you are provoked.
What
I care about is arguments that are put cleanly without much fanfare. When
you think that you have permission to be rude threatening or abusive under
any circumstances, you are wrong. It degrades any point you have and it
abuses the other people on the list. *  *  *

...
When you choose to be abusive, it makes you unpalatable and I do not
really
care for your point of view because it got tainted. So make up your mind
what is important, your ego or your argument.
Thanks,
       GerardM
