Neoma was not going to be railroaded out of her top host position. Good for her. There's a whole backstory of having her position undermined by the co-hosts who want to run this group like their own private clubhouse. Like you, I have no dog fighting...but, like you, I have an opinion which we obviously don't share. So it goes.

Neoma, you had no right to sack the other hosts. You need to reinstate them and step down... [View all] Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 OP

What happened, Violet Crumble? nt Ecumenist Feb 2012 #1

Apparently differences over how to relate to our LGBTQ community turned into a flamr war. patrice Feb 2012 #4

except no one who uses this forum voted for her. small detail. i guess the forum has been seabeyond Feb 2012 #5

That's bullshit... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #31

She ran it by admin, take it up with them. LeftyMom Feb 2012 #2

Devil's Advocate: How do you know she "ran it by admin"? Because she said so? hlthe2b Feb 2012 #6

If she's being dishonest about that I'm sure they'll intervene. LeftyMom Feb 2012 #11

I have no reason to believe either way. If she has that documentation, she needs to share it. hlthe2b Feb 2012 #22

If she hasn't run it by admin, it's foolhardy to say so in such a prominent post. Gormy Cuss Feb 2012 #14

It wouldn't be the first time an individual DUer has misrepresented official policy... hlthe2b Feb 2012 #20

How do you know this? n/t Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #34

She took charge as she should to quell the anomosity. William769 Feb 2012 #3

Except nothing she has done will quell any animosity. BlueIris Feb 2012 #7

Well given the time William769 Feb 2012 #10

Wow.I realize I've missed a lot, but regardless of the history, I'm surprised you would defend... hlthe2b Feb 2012 #9

She did what needed to be done. William769 Feb 2012 #13

And, do you think Governor Walker did what "needed to be done" in using these same kind of tactics? hlthe2b Feb 2012 #15

I won't even dignify that with a answer. William769 Feb 2012 #18

Yes... we know who uses dictatorial tactics. That's why I'm surprised at your defense of this hlthe2b Feb 2012 #26

I defend the way the system is set up. William769 Feb 2012 #28

Obviously, the system is NOT working. A very toxic environment has been created. hlthe2b Feb 2012 #29

No people have set up the toxic enviroment. William769 Feb 2012 #30

So this is all because someone issued a superfluous alert on you? That's why you are defending this? hlthe2b Feb 2012 #32

Look up the word example. William769 Feb 2012 #33

Honestly... If you can't see the toxicity going both directions... hlthe2b Feb 2012 #37

I will put blame on individuals William769 Feb 2012 #38

People who use reason? regnaD kciN Feb 2012 #50

What are you talking about? William769 Feb 2012 #25

we had one more day of elections. hands down, redqueen. that is why they had to do this today seabeyond Feb 2012 #17

Unless I hear differently from the admin, this was an abuse of power... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #35

Well, One thought Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #44

I was just reviewing some PMs and I don't think the admins were aware of the fact. laconicsax Feb 2012 #47

I've asked the admin in the hosts forum whether they were aware of what she planned to do... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #49

I'll wait for the admin to say what they knew and if they approved this... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #48

Seems like who owns the Forum is more important than discussions on the posted topics. Old and In the Way Feb 2012 #8

I've only been superficially following, but for a HOST to unilaterally remove all elected co-host?! hlthe2b Feb 2012 #12

A main host has that right William769 Feb 2012 #16

The main host could have been absolutely right at the start (or not), but THIS is INDEFENSIBLE. hlthe2b Feb 2012 #19

Easy...that's the way the Groups are set up. Old and In the Way Feb 2012 #21

The groups were set up to VOTE for their HOST... As I understand it, she was NOT. hlthe2b Feb 2012 #24

redqueen was voted in. we asked for cohost. we did not know there was a line of heirarchy. seabeyond Feb 2012 #27

Here is the link to prove you wrong. William769 Feb 2012 #36

redqueen voted in. by the forum. our group. the people that use this place. not you. link seabeyond Feb 2012 #40

My link is your alls discussion on her becoming main host William769 Feb 2012 #41

my link shows the members of the forums voice. nt seabeyond Feb 2012 #43

So what you all said in my link didn't happen? William769 Feb 2012 #45

Yay for dictatorships! Boo to group democracy! Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #39

Before I read the ~40 responses, this isn't about power. Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #42

Sacking the co-hosts is an abuse of the power of a host... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #46
