debates. Ask whether without that member's contribution,would the discussion have been more civil?
It's one thing to be part of heated discussions. We are both have been participants in heated debates. The difference as I see it is we don't participate and fuel MOST heated discussions in this group.

As for the SoP, I could point to many OT posts by that same member in the past week alone. That's over and above the posts hidden for not meeting community standards. I'm pretty sure that if I had acted that way you would have shown me the door. That's one of the reasons that I trusted you as primary host -- to be objective and able to make the hard decision to block ANY member based on such behaviors.

As for a host acting unilaterally, the host and co-hosts should work that out among yourselves. I don't know if the hosts ever set up ground rules on how to host the group. I suspect not, since the hosting hasn't been in place that long. Not all groups expect hosts and co-hosts to reach consensus on all actions. If there isn't an establish plan among the host, it's indefensible to question the primary host's decision when she was acting in good faith.

You do not need to answer this, but I'm curious: did you discuss your unblocking with all the other co-hosts and Neoma and come to a consensus, or did you act unilaterally?
