Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Post-election statement affirming diversity from Code4Lib?
Is it really necessary for this list to affirm that it stands by diversity? I have not encountered any negativity on this email list myself. Are others experiencing this? I am saddened to think that others are experiencing hurtful or bullying comments on this email list. :(
