Maybe you're only talking about this specific fork of the thread, but I was happy to see that the previous discussion managed to stay on-topic and largely avoid the specific social issue. I saw a lot of people with specific criticism of the decision, completely separate from the cause. (I appreciate that Leigh was still clinging to that idea while the thread was being dragged into the abyss, only to be insulted in the process.) Having addressed that, I want to say to everybody that Wikimedia-l is a lot of things, not all good, but the previous conversation was at least on-topic. Does anyone seriously think that this one is? Please, please don't make me start content filtering based on words like "feminazi" or "misogynist."
