Things have cultures, Businesses, do. So do Mailing lists. This list, at least in terms of those who post in primarily male. Consider it a dive bar. The good the bad and the ugly its what it is. And it's not going to change. You aren't going to change its culture just like you aren't going to change the culture of a bunch of Wall Street Traders or those on a sports team or those guys who go out drinking together. In the same way that the culture here would never invade a girls night out, you should respect what we have built. If it works for you great, if not. It's not for you.  and Lora, you signed up for the list, you should be able to figure out how to reach the administrator. Its not that hard and members of the list shouldn't have to do it for you.  On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 5:59 PM, Lora <[address removed]> wrote: If anyone has the names of the admin/admins of this group/list, please post. thank you Is this group run by kids? teenagers? or hoodrats pretending to be techy?  #Tempted to join Maggie On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 1:48 PM, Lora <[address removed]> wrote: I am fairly new to this group & I have never read such childish unprofessional responses to an ad that was posted by a member attempting to reach out!

I'm sure you're better than all of us. It's a joke when people huff and puff and leave a mailing list. Since when were Internet mailing lists ever polite? The best of the list always comes after a blow up like this. So, you'll simply just miss out. Bye, bye!

Good luck all.  I'm now removing myself from this d list.

It is insane that threads related to this issue are the most active on this 'tech list.' Wow. Simply, W.O.W.

Thank you for your warning. I've been on many list-servs in the food world for the last dozen years or so and have pretty thick skin now. One of the main reasons I chose to write this note is because I mentor a lot of women in business and felt that the way Cyndi was treated may silence other women who would like to post but are afraid to. Before anyone gets up in arms about this comment: I realize that the may less-than diplomatic comments doled out here often have nothing to do with gender! Frankly, I don't think that a lot of people even read the names of the people who are posting before they decide to write something nice or snarky. However, I do know how women think and many might hold back from writing on here after reading that one thread. My point was to make it feel like anyone, regardless of gender, to feel like they could post something on here without being totally cut down. I'm not sure why asking people to be polite would be a misfire - or be in the same category as posting a job post (gotta love those threads - delete). But thanks for your honesty.

I'm simply, and politely, writing to explain that this very topic has been broached like 1000 times by new people and it always becomes a many-emails-long thread that achieves absolutely nothing.  I appreciate your balls, but brace yourself; You have officially opened yourself up to an enourmous amount of patronizing comments from the snarkiest members of the list. If this in fact your first contribution to the list, I'm afraid you've completely misfired this time.  If you are in fact the glutton for punishment this email would indicate, I'd recommend posting a job opportunity or a link to your blog while you're at it. -- Please Note: If you hit "REPLY", your message will be sent to everyone on this mailing list ([address removed]) This message was sent by Maggie ([address removed]) from NY Tech Meetup.
