  I'm rather indifferent.  I find E refreshingly to the point.
  Anyone who thinks so much about one person's tone as to drop BookShare 
because of one person is looking for an excuse to do that.  Besides, there's 
just too much chatter on this list in the first place.  178 messages on this 
list.  Amazing.

    If her tone is "brusque" as you call it, why have at least ten people I 
know of personally, and I don't know a ton of people on the net unsubscribed 
and in some cases, stopped volunteering altogether  due to harsh criticism by 
E. and others?  People need to realize that brusqueness in one affects others.  
Especially if one is new, they  will not know E. is brusque.  they will assume 
rudeness was implied.  We should not have to tell new volunteers, "Oh, so and 
so is brusque, go ahead and ignore that, they've gotten better".  We've said 
this over and over and I think that need not be said. Instead, people need to 
realize they are writing to a public list and curb their emotions and 
brusqueness, as it were. E. has been told for years she needs to be more 
mindful.  this is just the last straw, apparently.
