Yeah. good for her! Listening to the wishes of the members of a group and co-hosts is so over-rated anyway!

I don't know you from a bar of soap and haven't spotted you here discussing feminist issues, so where are you getting this crap about a private clubhouse? And why complain about something like that when yr backing someone who is treating this place as their own private fiefdom?

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
