@DarkCygnus Good to see you around. Hope you're doing well.

good morning. It seems like SE is unaware of the Streisand effect

morning all

@mag saw your post on the meta thread - nice one

Snow

@mag That kind of happens when people use uncommon terms to describe things without realising that other people might not know their meanings.

mag

@Snow hm? I meant the fact that they're trying to bury monica's gofundme by removing links to it

Snow

I mean "Streisand Effect".

mag

I think it's a reasonably common term, but I'm kind of in a bubble there

Sadly, I've decided again to step down. This is nothing to do with Monica, pronouns, the CoC or anything else related.

Q: Reopen request - How to negotiate an offer if I'm not actually going to accept it

How to negotiate an offer if I'm not actually going to accept it This was closed as too broad, but there is arguably a straightforward and answerable question in bold: So should I try negotiation in this case, and what should be my strategy? Also, the question had already attracted several...

@Snow sad to hear, but you've earned our respect and support, mine anyway....do whatever you need to

Richard Says Reinstate Monica

@Snow I understand. This whole thing has been building for years now. It's why I left entirely until, ironically, the mess over Monica brought me back.
