Speaking only for myself, I hope that we do see reaching out very soon.

I appreciate your optimism but these people are evidently not interested in reaching out for real. If they were, it would have happened by now. They wouldn’t be saying horrible things in private and on fb, and blocking everyone.

When asked why there wasn’t more reaching out for this panel, the response was that any attempts to reach out would have been rejected out of hand. In other words, people on both “sides” are accusing the other of acting in bad faith. Real conversation could help.

No one's ever reached out to me, so going on assumptions like that seems like an excuse not to reach out.

I can’t reach out for them. I’m not an envoy for anyone. But I’ll personally say that I am glad you’re in the field and doing the work that you’re doing. And I’m also glad that the members of that panel are in the field and doing their work.

I mean, it is super disingenuous for certain people on that panel to be talking about this stuff when only this year one had a whole thing about medieval scholars should be monks in their cells, not doing political work. Like, you seem to want to find good intentions here.

And I get that, but these people have been repeat offenders for awhile now, and blocking BIPOC and allies on all platforms and not responding to justified criticism. None of them care about reaching out.

Again, I can’t speak for the members of the panel. I don’t know what they do and don’t care about. But I think most in the room and in our field want the same things. And they don’t want these divisions to deepen.

None of us are asking you to speak for them. We’re telling you why we are suspicious at best of these discussions, and thinking that they are acting in good faith when they haven’t at all so far is offensive. Them speaking on this stuff is disingenuous.

I’m sorry if I’ve offended you.

Apologies, I mistyped. You aren’t offending me, what I meant was that they are acting like they are wanting to build bridges, act in good faith, etc. but they haven’t and that is offensive.
