After reading through the "Nanny Time" thread I was about ready to defend
Vaska for having taken such heat for making so benign a comment as that
often times [some] women are hesitant to speak up when in the midst of
several arguing men. That's what it seemed to me she was saying and,
though I've not perceived evidence of it on the list (Vaska said she had
private correspondence confirming it's existence on the list, so I can't
say, definitively, that it doesn't exist), I have observed it in the "real
world". I didn't really get the feeling that the men on the list were
being slammed for somehow intimidating the women and did think that some
folks were over-reacting.
Then I came to the "Enough is Enough" thread where Vaska posted private
email from Andrew Dinn, apparently without his permission. I can't defend
that, by no means (major no-no, taboo, verbooten), and am thus forced to
reconsider.
Oh well.
