Guide
Hi Ealdyth. I think this is the second time i've come to your talk with regard to your arb voter guide. First off, i'll repeat what i said last time ~ thank you! What i'm really here for, though, is to mention and appreciate the last two points in the guide, your soapbox about gender and, most especially, NONAZIS. I can't understand why gender isn't on all our minds much of the time as we edit, especially as we come into conflict/work together as a community; it can't help but be relevant. I have been vaguely concerned for quite a while ~ since i first learned of it ~ about NONAZIS, and recently that concern has moved to worry, though i've not really put my finger on why; your soapbox stand verbalises and solidifies for me, making it clear why that essay should never be more than an essay and, ideally, should be deprecated. So, at risk of becoming repetative, thank you! Happy days ~ LindsayHello 08:49, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Umm, remind me...why is your name not on this page? Happy days ~ LindsayHello 08:51, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
