I'm going to keep at it, for now. Honestly, I'm tired of it being a mostly
internally discussed problem... Perhaps I'll change my mind at some point,
but that's my thinking on it at this time.

Frankly, given the hostility to the Gender Gap

about this Hashtag effort.
Lightbreather quoted some obnoxious guy statements a month ago out of her
own account and was roundly criticized. Forum shopping and canvassing
issues were raised while others applauded it. See

I personally wouldn't do it because the wrong Admin who was friends with
people you quoted (or people who don't like you) probably would get you
blocked for weeks or months at a time. So it could be a way to trap editors
whose twitter accounts are somehow linked to their user names.
I know at least one guy at an ANI got away with criticizing a woman editor
on her editing at a number of off wiki-sites. But that doesn't mean any of
us would get away with it.
And this also can be turned about the Gender Gap Project
"#GenderGapStupidity" or whatever.
So unless there was some community consensus on an appropriate way to do
this, I would tread carefully...
