editors: Thread: Request for different review coordinator

In the light of the following quotes from Raymond Martin in reference
to me and my writing (archived publicly on the ####@####.####
archives), I request that Raymond not be one of the reviewers of HOWTO
Encourage Women in Linux.

 "All this you are writing here is coercion meant to sway people
  towards your view instead of letting them use their own power of
  reason to make fair assessments."

 "It was clearly obvious from your writing that your view is skewed
  and that is exactly what is wrong."

  "Saying things like that is just propaganda."

  "It does not seem to matter how fair I try to be. You will find a
   way to twist my words. Which is exactly how you have twisted ideas
   in the document to fit your ends."

After comments like these, I don't feel that I can expect a fair
review from Raymond.  I request Tabatha Marshall to take over as
review coordinator for HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux.

Thanks, and if I haven't already done so, I apologize for the trouble.

None of this matters now. My aim was achieved; a review of your document
for better or worse--hopefully better.

And if the resulting document still has inappropriate information in it 
after all the
effort that will be put in there is always another review down the road.

You might as well save us both some effort and try to get it right this 
time.

Good luck.

Raymond: Martin
