Grr. LJ is being wonky with notifications; apologies for not replying to this sooner.
That may have been what you meant to say, but that is not how it's come across to myself, and looking from the comments, other people as well. Because frankly, every single time something like this comes up with SFWA, SFWA members jump to "but look at all the good we're doing" -- and yeah, that's great that you're doing good things, but I take extreme exception to the idea that it is not, in fact, the sexists and other *ists who are overshadowing the good of SFWA, but the people who have hit compassion fatigue and no longer have the energy or spoons to put into an organization that has shown them time and time again that they don't care about them.
If you truly can't understand that, then I don't know what to say, but I remain in horror that you feel it is okay to shame, blame, and criticize people who are leaving an organization that has proven itself either outright harmful to them or at the very least apathetic to their needs on more than one occasion.
