Carol; are you now suggesting I am an Akin staffer?
Im distraught by this entire thread; it started with my motives being
questioned in creating an AFD. And descended into hurtful comments about me
trying to oppress women.
Because I suggested the word questionable wasnt nice, and that carols

Carol, I know you feel aggrieved in this situation, but I would ask you to
please consider stepping away from this conversation. This conversation is
making the list look like it's populated not by gendergap closers, but
nasty people who enjoy being nasty for the sake of feeling special. And

Hi all -
I've been in a significant academic time crunch for the last several
weeks, and Sarah is currently AFK, which is why neither of us have
participated in this thread so far. One of us (Sarah, me, or Cindy,)
will probably have further comment on this thread in general and may
reach out to
Kevin,
I would like to thank you for this email. I think you expressed several
things I was thinking a lot better than I would have been able to.
From,
Emily

Right now there are 3 questionable AfD's and various nominations, etc.
Plus a bunch of Good article nominees and other listings.
Watch that page (or the relevant page in your language) and comment from

Or that I nominated the B.a.B.e article for those reasons? Let's assume
good faith here.

Questionable just means one has questions. So it's nice, unlike the
other words which I was contrasting with questionable - not using to
describe my specific questions on specific articles in that particular
AfD list. See:
What I am taking personally is your assertion that we nominated these
articles for some anti-female agenda.
Which you continue to do by suggesting my characterisation of your argument
as ridiculous is due to you being a woman.
The irony of then telling me not to take it personally is... Ah,

I disagree. I think questionable is a highly charged word that's usually
understood to be rhetorical (whether or not it was intended that way).
For instance, if I say I

Hate to be a pain... but Ryan, your comments and the comments by another male
on the list, they make me feel uncomfortable as the tone argument is one
historically used to repress women and to silence them.

Wow. What a ridiculous way to say yes. Ive always found you to be
switched on and relevant in the past; but looking over your contributions
to those AFDs it feels like your certain the aim is to remove these
articles because we are anti-women. And for no other reason.
