Dear Ernesto,
I had chance to read your posts about this. They strike me as reasonable and level-headed, just as Bethan Tovey-Walsh’s. Besides my own response (also censored by Willard), those are the only ones I have had the opportunity to read. That my own reply was strongly worded might have been construed as the reason for its censorship. In yours and Tovey-Walsh’s cases, I cannot imagine what the justification would be beyond someone in a position of power decided you should not have a say on this.
As I read tweets from other scholars about this, I realize that they are right in pointing out that conversations in Humanist are, generally, among a very particular group of people. For years, I have limited my presence there to announcements because, in the past, intellectual content I contributed resulted in such negative remarks (many of them addressed to me off-list) that I internalized the idea that I had nothing to contribute. People like me are good at internalizing such things: we have been push so hard, made feel outsiders unworthy of even being present that we retreat to a corner to lick our wounds. I remember Mafalda, parodying a radio broadcast with a song entitled “Los buenos comenzamos a cansarnos,” and I think: we have been fed up for a long time.
I have more things to say, but it incenses me to think about this whole affair and I need to cool it or my posts are going to go beyond the rage that Chemaly recommends and into R-rated language.
The question remains: What are we going to do about this? How are we going to make things right?

Dear all,
I hope everyone's doing well given the circumstances worldwide.
Since my personal blog has a limited readership I thought I'd share with you my latest post, '“Vox Populi”: Of Relevance to Digital Humanities as A Subject of Enquiry', available at
https://epriego.blog/2020/08/14/relevance-digital-humanities-subject-enquiry...
My blog does not allow comments given systematic trolling and spamming received in the past, but I'm on Twitter where feedback can be shared, or perhaps even in this very list if it's considered relevant.
Happy Friday and weekend to you all
Ernesto
