Re: [Gendergap] Apologies from the Parlympic Games Opening Ceremonies for making others uncomfortable

[Béria Lima]

I would like to say to the moderator team - especially Sarah who now
decided to create a "WWC" initiative (and I'm now requesting her to change
the name) - to fuck off and try to do half of what Laura is doing for women
in Wikipedia..

I'm with Laura in this. If this list isn't welcoming to women from outside
USA, it failed the propose to exist. If isn't a safe place for women, it
has no reason to exist.

I would like to thank the mod team for intervening, in any case.

I am sorry to see Laura go.   Her leaving the list was not requested
by the mod team here, and was not the desired or expected outcome of
my interaction with her. She's welcome back at any point that she
would like to resubscribe.

Sarah and I have recently been approached by people in private
indicating that Laura's posting style has made them uncomfortable
participating in public discussions on this list.  After talking with
Sarah, I sent Laura an email asking her to step back and consider if
her messages could make others uncomfortable before sending them out,
and asking her to take into consideration other people's feedback when
they offer it.  (She's not the only member who we've sent a similar
message to.)

[Gendergap] Apologies from the Parlympic Games Opening Ceremonies for making others uncomfortable

[Laura Hale]

I apologize to those I have made uncomfortable with my tone. I never intended 
to silence those voices of women here trying to do outreach, which was why I 
helped organise WikiWomenCamp.

I would like for the moderators to unsubscribe me as I feel unsafe in voicing 
my opinion and unsupported by the list by active outreach I do.  

I want to humbly thank the administrators for telling me this during the 
Paralympic Games Opening Ceremonies, which I am covering for Wikimedia, and 
working on to help improve disability related and women's outreach.

I hope I can do better with my tone and outreach outside the framework of this 
list where I am less likely to make people uncomfortable. 

I am sorry. :( Truly so.
