Re: [Gendergap] Warning: Email thread hijacking
Unfortunately despite multiple complaints about this group hijacking users from a Wikimedia list by maliciously harvesting email addresses, Google has yet to take any visible action. Fae I unsubscribed from that group after some particularly vitriolic abuse directed at Fae, something that actually managed to repulse me into hitting unsubscribe almost immediately, abuse that had absolutely nothing really to do with the purported issue under which it was raised, making it apparent that the person in question was really just looking for an opportunity to say it. I do not want that in my inbox. I recommend everyone else here who cares about the values this list is meant to uphold do likewise ASAP.

Re: [Gendergap] Warning: Email thread hijacking
It's worth additionally noting that as far as I can tell Russia Aviation is associated with a real-world group that has previously doxxed editors with severe consequences, and has a specific agenda that has nothing to do with gender gap issues. I'm keeping them off the list as best I can, but have been a bit MIA for the last week and a half.

Yes, I've been inconvenienced by this group too. I've already reported them as "spam" to Google and have warned them if they bother me again I shall report them to Google abuse. This Russian Aviatiion character went as far as to analyze the Google Analytics code on my personal website, in a bid it seems to associate me with the sex trade in Indonesia, gek eh? I have informed the relevant authorities in Indonesia ... :). Huge fan of yours, Fae. Keep on trucking.
