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

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

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
