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

[Puppy]

As did I. However, strong points have been made in favor of a women's 
only list, and reinforced by the unbelievable hostility and trolling 
which this whole issue has received on the en and foundation lists. No 
wonder some women want a safe place where they are not subjected to such 
overt hostility and dismissiveness! Surely it would be a plus for the 
community were we to provide such a safe haven. We may have a stronger 
chance of retaining women contributors, and possibly even manage to clue 
the insensitive jerks who post "boobs" jokes about how that kind of 
thing makes most women want to run far, far away. I have already posted 
on the en list my thoughts concerning perceived reverse discrimination.
