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.
