Dear Bruce:

I am reading this message in complete shock. I can scarcely believe what I am reading.

You are telling us that -- in the name of supporting a "collaborative feminine model" whereby all women of the world can transcend their difference and work together for good -- and whose theme includes to RESPECT AND EMPOWER THE VOICES OF ALL WOMEN;

LINDA STILLMAN, PENNY McMANIGAL AND ANN SMITH

have threatened to shut down a community forum --a 2nd time -- if we dare to publish any feedback that asks questions about decisions or disagrees with them in any way??

You are saying that even a moderated forum where we are already locked away from public view, we are still not allowed to discuss the principles of highest good for Sophia 2010, except to praise the glorius good work of her (now down to 3) self-appointed leaders and queens?? Not even within a forum where the people are over 18 and members by choice?

Are you saying that because some of the of women in this forum used their voices to ask questions about the wisdom and justice around certain activities, and asked for a WIN-WIN RESOLUTION to be found -- that their voices are being SILENCED AGAIN, and hidden in the 2nd level of the basement?

And you are calling this -- "giving us our freedom??

Is this really happening??

CAN ANYONE ELSE HEAR THE HYPOCRISCY AND UNBELIEVABLE VIOLATION IN THIS ACTION?

This is the most unethical breech of responsibility, and community trust I have EVER seen taken by ANY organization I have EVER been affiliated with.

AND it is the biggest ego-power trip I have EVER EVER witnessed!!

I am sending this information to every group in the US and world I know about, and asking my friends and networks to do the same!

BEWARE OF SOPHIA 2010 -- DO NOT AFFILIATE!

The Sophia 2010 is a small but clever group of aggressively ambitious women who act without consideration or agreement from their communities they report to represent.

Sophia 2010 hides it's actions from public view, and buries it's own founders if they disagree with decisions of Linda Stillman, or the process of the group.

Sophia 2010 -- Linda Stillman, Penny McManigal and Ann Smith -- shut down community forums that dared voice disagreement with their decisions, and attacked individuals and groups who differed from them, or questioned their activities in any way.

The "leaders" of Sophia 2010 represent the antithesis of everything the legitimate women's movement stands for.

It's current "3" have many negative secrets the Sophia community has not yet discovered and it is my hope this information will continue to come out and not be suppressed by this action.

I hereby resign and denounce any affiliation with the Sophia 2010 group. I AM ASHAMED TO HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH SOPHIA 2010 IN ANY WAY.

I URGE ALL OF YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM. LET US ALL PLACE OUR ENERGIES WITH THE 5WWC Group and other legitimate groups that have been properly screened and whose actions are aligned with their words.
