too.

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.
