Gregory's Server@celesteh @tarheel On one hand, most Wikipedians are well meaning liberal(ish) people whose views uphold the patriarchy because they haven’t been asked to examine them.

And another “difficult editor who had so much promise” is banned because they can’t follow what the established folks genuinely see as the neutral application of rules
