Zeynep, I have already explained myself. I am not homophobic. My words
were not homophobic. Don't be silly.

You are not a good moderator. You do not ensure the proper conduct of
debates. You are weak when you should be firm, and over-react when you
ought to be sensible. It is because we have no confidence in you and do
not respect your work as a moderator, amongst other reasons, that we
have created an alternative list.

But it is not true to say that I do not like you. I do not even know
you, and am happy to leave it like that. 

If you want to make catty little remarks, be sure you know how to
justify them. Answer my postings properly. Do not resort to ad hominem
methods.

If you find the work load taxing, do not invite list-members to post
less in the insulting terms in which you do. Resign, and let someone
else do the job.
