Sue Gardner's world tour Options

[thekohser]

Sue Garder traveled the globe recently, "accompanied" by her male assistant.

She jetted all the way to London to meet a 12-year-old boy named Peter.

Later, in India, she coveted another woman's muffin.

That's what I got out of it, anyway.

"The iPad is like a TV or a radio, in that it's designed for consuming corporate-made media"

Huh? I've only used the iPad a few times, at my sister's house, so maybe I'm missing something.

Then she's really going to hate the Wikipedia App for iPad Srsly; "designed for consuming corporate-made media"?? Hardly

Sue, you ignorant slut.

What about pirate radio? Have you read your own damn "encyclopedia" about it??

What about low-power FM stations?

What about shortwave radios?

Sue, you ignorant slut.

Is that really necessary? I'm not sure either of those labels are fact, so why bother. It just brings the place down.

Let the facts stand for themselves without the gratutious insults. Eric, you can write with a very acid pen without copping out that way. So do it.

Well... it definitely was an ignorant thing for her to say, and insulting to all the people who participate in community-based volunteer activities in TV and radio. Presumably Sue wants to make those people feel bad for not participating in what she wants them to participate in - namely, Wikimedia-owned products - and that makes her a selfish woman also. So, given selfish + ignorant, and some of the outfits we've seen her wearing, not to mention the whole Wikipedia CEO thing... Obviously there's an inappropriate sexist connotation to the word "slut," but let's not forget that women can be intelligent, witty, attractive, and highly competent professionally, and still have a tendency towards aggressive sexual behavior, not to mention a terrible fashion sense. It doesn't necessarily make those women bad people, though admittedly it might make them baaaad, baaaad, baaaaaaaad people.

I should, at least, say that my general opinion of Canadians has risen significantly over the last 6 months, for various reasons I'd prefer not to go into at the moment. So that's actually something in her favor, IMO.

So, Somey, when exactly did Sue Gardner exhibit "a tendency towards aggressive sexual behavior"?
