I appreciate Drifter-he defended and preserved my space as a woman on this board to air my suspicion that EAR/ONS/GSK was/had been a member of LE. That is an important act, to provide space for women to speak when I was being shouted down by others on the board saying that I should leave the board, was stupid and had a dumb opinion that was misinformed and that was anti-LE, etc. And we're not talking "I don't agree here's why" we're talking "leave woman, your opinions aren't welcome."
Enter Drifter to say "folks, this isn't ok." I am grateful for his moderation and careful cultivation. he wasn't paranoid or overreaching in my opinion, and is only perceived as such by those that didn't like him.
Yes, I absolutely agree! Drifter could spot misogyny and groupthink a million miles away, and I was so appreciative that he did not tolerate the pathetically weak and cowardly abuse of women here.
A few times I have wanted to post, "Guess what, misogynist? A woman is not causing "drama" by having a differing opinion" --as a few (unnamed) abusive misogynists will cry out as they attempt to rake a woman over the coals here.
Drifter would be all over posters who would pull that abusive BS, and I really greatly admired him for that. He had integrity, and I felt my opinions were respected and valued here.
He was a brave, real man, and a highly intelligent one at that. He is greatly missed, and I am sure that Winters, Richmond, and Elir would love to have him back, too, as part of their moderation team.♥️
