[Foundation-l] [Wikichix-l] Moderating an open list

[Puppy]

consider this: I never said /I/ thought I was being attacked, I said 
women were concerned about it.
I in fact stated I seem to be fairly thick skinned for a women.
And consider most seriously: If Jane's feelings are hurt because of 
something John said, does that automatically make John too brutal, or 
Jane too sensitive? I hold that neither is the case. Women are by and 
large far more sensitive to criticism. For men to say they *should not 
be* is to ignore a fundamental difference, and to invalidate their 
experience.
