I think there is very little that Carol and I would agree on when it
comes to subjects and article topics, and we definitely have different

is the hostility on Wikipedia is a turn-off to a lot of women and men.
I would much rather be editing articles most of the time, and the only
reason that I got into civility policy and related issues is because
of what I've experienced and observed.
Also, as I've noted, I came from 15 years in a highly combative email
discussion arena dominated by guys. LB might have been in more
supportive or collaborative email environments.
But despite these differences we both had much higher expectations of
Wikipedia given it's principles of collaboration and NPOV and Civility,
all of which were shown to be unevenly and unfairly applied by partisan
and cliquish editors.
