We all know why as she made it known.
In short, she was not happy with the treatment of female members here and quite frankly, I agree. We were sure to convey this to her along with our support.
I even suggested she take a few days off instead of making a radical decision, especially after all the time she had invested here participating AND helping others.
We attempted to remedy the sitation via contacts of the other MOD that was involved as well as other members in question, and in the past.
Apologies were offered by the offending MOD, but she relayed that NO apologies would suffice at this juncture.
She decided she was through, and she wished to take things a step further and REQUESTED to have her account deleted. We left her request "OPEN" for a week and she never recanted although we wish she would have.
MsW is a very cool lady and we appreciate all she has contributed to the board. We wish her the best but she was adamant about her request to simply be 100% done with this board as she has witnessed the gross mistreatment of female members here one too many times and for what it's worth, I completely agree with her actions as well as her stance.
IMHO it's unfortuante to lose a solid member, let alone a CONTRTIBUTING MOD to sexist comments. Her decisions are completely substantiated in my view. The childish behaviour here at times is rather repulsive and not welcomed.
I hope we can all learn from this loss. Lifts and I plan to be even MRE diligent with respect to the 'fair treatment of woman on this board. Take note.
