[09:59:59] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <Marajozkee> Hello friends sorry for cross posting.

[16:53:26] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <TimidRobot> I appreciate the information about #WikiForHumanRights. Thank you!
[18:07:04] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <Jan_ainali> I guees the message is: own up to it and believe in the importance of the message you are cross posting.  Don't be sorry. Be proud of being the one spreading the gospel. If not, then don't spread it. (re @TimidRobot: I appreciate the information about #WikiForHumanRights. Thank you!)
[18:25:09] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <TimidRobot> I appreciate others attempts to be polite—even if they use communication norms that are different than my communication norms.
[18:38:05] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <Jan_ainali> Ah, but to me they don't appear to attempt that by using that phrase. If they were honestly sorry, the polite thing to do was not to spam. (re @TimidRobot: I appreciate others attempts to be polite—even if they use communication norms that are different than my communication norms.)
[18:56:49] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <TimidRobot> I'm glad they promoted #WikiForHumanRights and do not consider their message spam. We need more work towards an equitable Wikimedia (including our programming and data work)
[22:49:34] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <Jan_ainali> As am I. If it were "glad for cross posting" it would feel better. Being sorry for a good message seems cognitive dissonant. (re @TimidRobot: I'm glad they promoted #WikiForHumanRights and do not consider their message spam. We need more work towards an equitable Wikimedia (including our programming and data work))
[23:10:49] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <TimidRobot> It may be cognitive dissonant in the English language communication norms that you are familiar with, but are other cultures, traditions, and norms. For example: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160223-why-do-the-british-say-sorry-so-much
