Talk:Will Shetterly

"he has drawn significant criticism for his public statements on feminism and anti-racism"

My public statements on feminism? I don't mind being slammed, but, please, have the decency to back up your claims. I don't remember anyone criticizing me for statements I've made about feminism. I have been openly critical of the narrow agenda of capitalist antiracists, but again, if you're going to criticize me, support what you say. --Will

• Hi Will -- I removed the feminism part of that sentence, because I'm not aware of any such criticisms, either, and I'm going to assume it was just an error from quick writing. I'm going to quote you from this talk page, as well, and hopefully a fuller description of the content of your critique, and the critique of your critique, will come out. Of course, if an editor meant to include the feminism line, hopefully they will come back, add it back in, and document it. Thanks for coming here. BTW, we're not wikipedia and we don't have a policy against self-editing, btw, so if you want to take a stab at objectively describing these things, go ahead -- probably, someone will edit it! As long as it's productive editing all around and not an edit war, I think it's good. --LQ 15:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC) (Laura Quilter)
• Hi, Laura! You made me laugh (in the best way). I confess, I thought I was posting in an internet vacuum, so when I stumbled back here today and saw the link to the talk page, I was quite surprised. Self-editing is tricky. I'll do it to correct egregious errors, but I tend to think on judgment calls, it's better to let people call them as they see them. All I ask is that they be substantiated to a reasonable degree. Which is open to debate, of course. So, uh, carry on! --Will (10:22, 28 Feb. 09 Arizona time)
