Lila,
Congratulations for having such a clear and wise understanding of the
present and future of Wikimedia. Your views collide with those of many who
from positions of power both at the WMF and the communities have had a
chance to impose them on everybody else, squashing, blocking and deleting
dissent. Your task will not be easy, but you are doing the right thing.
With respect to the Gender Gap, I believe there's room for improvement
recognizing that there's more than men and women. The contributions of the
LBGT genders are not adequately recognized.
I'm also very sorry to have to state that although you have the freedom to
share you views using this list, and many that nurtured for you nothing
else but hate and contempt, I have no such freedom. Following a dubious
process, that has been described elsewhere and of which, conveniently, only
part is saved in the list archives, this comment will only reach the
members of this list if a group of censors (kindly called "moderators")
approve it for publication.
This message is sent at the risk of having myself removed form this list,
as it has already happened from others, for reasons that shame any human
being worthy of that name. To have my support might also not do any good
for you. I fear that it will bring more hate to bear on you. That is the
fate of the human condition, to be its own worst enemy.
I wish you, the Foundation and Wikimedia all the best, and a bright and
shining future,
Virgilio A. P. Machado
