I learned so much back in the early days of the list. That is why i came
back here. I wanted to leave this list several times in the last months, but I didn't leave because few women -- cis and trans -- write here and I really want to make this space a bit more comfortable and secure for them and for more fragile, more sensitive people and minorities in general. I absolutely do not care about trolls and offenses, but I know they scare a lot more sensible and delicate people. Poisonous censorship made by trolls: violent, coward, illogical and exhaustive. It's killing the CP list. As I said few weeks ago, we are losing good informations, technical and personal opinions of good people, good professionals, because this list is not healthy, is too aggressive and very, very toxic. What really annoys me and let me very upset is knowing that some sensitive persons here never will write anything on this list, never will share their opinions and ideas, because of this oppressive dictatorship of fear and aggressive bad words. We don't have moderation, but there is already brutal censorship.

That's a highly stupid lie, but then I wouldn't expect anything else from a lawyer. Censorship is what your friends at the pentagon's tor project do. Here we have free speech. The very same free speech your friends can't tolerate. So go ahead, vomit some propaganda about 'poor opresed minorities' and 'womyn' who are oh so afraid of...free speech. "some sensitive persons here never will write anything on this" awwww, your poor sensitive oppressed fascists, what a tragedy. list"

It's funny. I didn't see her post :( She must have quoted one of the trolls. So that's the downside of filtering on both sender and body.

Well hey, I'm glad that neither you nor Marina have left :)

I get that. I finally got fed up with all the crap. But still, I totally oppose moderation. Back in the day, with slow dialup modems, it was important to avoid downloading unwanted messages. Now that's not an issue. So each of us can filter out whatever we don't want to see.

You know, I never was a smart girl, haha! ;) Hey, do you want to laugh, Mirimir? Someone was telling me that Zzz is making a huge drama about "Assange's possible death" to get some attention. Should I tell him that Assange is alive, but insignificant fake activists were not informed about it? :) I almost searched his message in my trash to laugh a bit, but... ah, you know, I am terribly lazy. It's a bit 'cruel', but this old Japanese saying is true for some persons: "baka wa shinanakya naoranai". :P
Well hey, I'm glad that neither you nor Marina have left :)
Marina, Cari, stef, Jelena, Eden and several other names that unhappily I don't remember by memory now... We have great women here, my dear! <3

I strongly hate moderation, my dear, but I recognize its importance in very extreme situations. I do love the fact we don't have moderation here and I love my filters with my whole heart. Love, love, love! <3
