How come we're blaming her all of a sudden?
We're the ones who
screwed up. The predominant culture on Wikipedia is really good at
pissing off good-faith contributors sometimes--I'm often loath to ask
others to contribute because I know how they'll ultimately be treated.
Here's someone who openly states on her page that she wants to help
Wikipedia, but she wants the personal attacks against her removed
before that happens. If you step back and look at it from her point
of view, and not through the lens of the Wikipedia culture, is that
really so unreasonable?
No, I just think the page makes her look worse that she should and
won't help matters. I'm also trying to bring DreamGuy to the party. If
we can get them to email each other directly without rancor ...
