Re: <nettime> apropos of nothing

[Angela Mitropoulos <angela.mitropoulos@gmail.com>]

It is a simple and straightforward question that I would like answered. It makes no inferences about whether recruitment is effective, or even deliberate rather than aesthetic. But I'm grateful for the evidence you've furnished, dear, about the way in which women are told to calm down and shut up, no matter the tone they take, so that those who think women and black people are less than human and not entitled to take up space can keep ranting on at length about how everyone other than white guys are less than human. I mean, I'm grateful that you've illustrated the reason why I asked this question in the first place. That said, I have no interest in debating this further. 

I simply repeat my question, and would like it answered. Preferably in the negative. But if in the affirmative, then I would like to suggest that Nettime be shuttered because any benefit it had for creating a better world has long past. The world doesn't need a longform version of Gab, or Gab for that matter.
