Women of the Wall observed Rosh Chodesh at the Kotel for twenty years in peace and quiet.

Peace and quiet? Then why did they keep getting arrested for breaking the law?

From 1967 to 1989 (the inception of WoW), no one else had a problem with the way Tefila was conducted at the Kosel.

There is NO issue of kol isha and NO reason why women must pray silently at the Kotel while they are surrounded by noise.

Their Kol Isha can be heard quite clearly, which is why they’re being objected to.

Anat Hoffman: “Yes, we want to be seen and heard.”

Is the lashon hara really l’toeles? Can we criticize others for breaches of tznius while we waste our time with slander and hatred for the purpose of making ourselves feel superior?

Protesting a public violation of the Torah, by people who want to make it look Kosher, is not Lashon Hara. The postings here by people who object to what they’re doing are not to make themselves feel superior. They are protesting the public violation of the Torah.
