Question from Smallbones
- Misplaced Pages is starting to have a reputation for bullying and misogyny, see, e.g the recent article in The Atlantic by Emma Paling, "Misplaced Pages's Hostility to Women”.
Are you willing to take serious steps to stop bullying of editors on Misplaced Pages? especially bullying directed toward women editors? Is this one of your top 2 priorities? What would you consider to be a more important priority than stopping the bullying? Smallbones(smalltalk) 17:11, 10 November 2015 (UTC)- I read the article, thank you, and it is not a fair account. Regardless, misogyny is a problem in most parts of our societies and particularly on the internet. It is not the only one: racism, antisemitism, etc. are equally serious problems. Misplaced Pages is clearly not a safe zone, though it's a much better places than some other places on the Internet.
