I know, had a friend in that network who kept me informed. I sometimes reach out to some people who feel like that. I think I was trying to point out things easily get out of hand on twitter for everyone.
May I ask why you think women who are active in open science though (this is who we are talking about given you mention the mutual people we know) are scared of you? Do you model them as being scared you will criticise their open work even though they are open?

Sorry I don't understand that last sentence.
-
Twitter communication is hard and I was never formally taught English either which leads to some suboptimality I am sure. Let me try again.
-
Do you model (= do you imagine) that the women in open science who are scared of you as thinking you are scary because you will criticise their open work? Do you think women who do open work fear your criticism?
-
The women that we are talking about, that you said we both know... they are scared of you and they are in open science... what do you postulate as the reasons for their fear? The same as you gave above?
-
There are no simple answers to such a question. There are so many people on Twitter and there is such a large diversity in beliefs and opinions and fears. I only have some idea about the people I ended up in lengthy skype convo's with but that does not cover everyone.
-
I think the invitation to a Skype convo introduces some bias here, but good luck with it as a strategy for minimising your perceived scariness.
