You’re supposed to ‘allow’ (not that I need your permission) the list owner to take care of it. Everyone just assumed (jumped to the conclusion) that I was sexist. I deserve better than that, and I have nothing to prove.
Life’s too short. I’m done. For all the work and goodwill, I’m just tagged as a sexist in a nanosecond by folks without adequate information, or told I have to explain myself. I do not. Funny – I’m sometimes chastised by list members for coming down on them for off-topic convo, so much so that there became two lists. And now I’m chastised for not coming down on people enough. Or chastised for not picking and choosing who/how/why to come down on someone the way a particular person thinks I should. Screw it.
