I agree with what the three of you have said. I remember that when I joined
the volunteer list several years ago, E. was the first person to welcome me,
and did so in a warm and friendly manner. And, even though she has sometimes
been quite outspoken she clearly loves Bookshare and made her comments out of
concern.
As I have said before, all of us should assume good will.

Hi Evan,
I also wrote to her privately, and fervently hope she will reconsider. I
agree with you and Cindy. There was really no cause for her to be singled out
like that. If she does not proofread any more, Bookshare will lose a terrific
proofreader who has taken difficult history books, among many others, and has
done an excellent job on them.

Hi Cindy,
I agree with all of this, and have written her privately asking her to
reconsider. I really didn't, and still don't, see what the problem or problems
are.

I don't think E should resign from the lists. I read almost all the
posts and have been for years; generally the only ones I skip are the ones that
deal with technology about which I have no expertise.
E's posts are sometimes a bit brusque--it's her way of writing, but
she has learned to soften them and I see that she tries. Never has there been
inappropriate language, i.e., swearing or name-calling , and those, to me, from
what I have seen on other email lists or chat rooms, are the only things that
I would call inappropriate in posts. If someone doesn't like the tone of her
posts, when they see in the From space that the post is from her, they can
just delete before reading it.

I have been a member of this list pretty much continuously since
2003.
Pavi just sent me a note saying she had received feedback regarding
messages I have recently sent to the list which some other volunteers have
judged to be inappropriate.
This is kind of personal I know. What is appropriate for one person
may not be for another.
Rather than unintentionally offending anybody, I am resigning from
the volunteer list.
