Me too! Thanks for the idea. Little Star Feb 2012 #9

That was a very thoughtful note from EarlG. Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #4

I was as impressed as you, Ruby. Very well-thought out & considerate. pacalo Feb 2012 #112

Really? redqueen Feb 2012 #5

"job well done. you can take the safe haven out. there is no need." pacalo Feb 2012 #118

your wording is odd. seabeyond Feb 2012 #119

Forgive me for my writing skills, but I find it odd that you would talk to me like that. pacalo Feb 2012 #120

hm. the not welcome in conversation, threw me. seabeyond Feb 2012 #121

And the answer to my question is...? pacalo Feb 2012 #122

I look forward to this group getting back on track. tammywammy Feb 2012 #13

You have shown real courage this past week, Neoma. This is what feminism is all about. yardwork Feb 2012 #14

If banning voting and all dissent is feminism, count me out... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #72

Empowering women to think for themselves is the essence of feminism. yardwork Feb 2012 #106

Dear Neoma, my reasonable response to you... ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #15

I thought Neoma's comment (which you quoted) applied only to those who were bullying her. pacalo Feb 2012 #117

Thank you for all the transparency. Starry Messenger Feb 2012 #16

Wow. It's all about you. Gonna go play with the OTHER feminists. kestrel91316 Feb 2012 #17

You deserve a medal quinnox Feb 2012 #18

For me, and I fully supported Neoma, it has become a matter of trust. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #21

I can understand if Neoma needed to vent a little quinnox Feb 2012 #23

I truly wish you all the best of luck. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #24

I'm an outsider to this forum quinnox Feb 2012 #25

One thing I noted here, Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #27

I never took a pot shot Texasgal Feb 2012 #31

Guessing you were post #20? Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #34

Hey! That.... justiceischeap Feb 2012 #37

And she locked my very reasonable thread here. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #32

I agree Laura. Texasgal Feb 2012 #33

And, if these posts are allowed to stand by jury, I would lay money ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #35

I really need to go to bed justiceischeap Feb 2012 #36

It was not. It was a thread on my experience here, as a feminist and what I saw happening. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #39

How embarrassing! justiceischeap Feb 2012 #42

she locked redqueens thread about moving on. boston bean Feb 2012 #45

I agree that one doesn't make sense. justiceischeap Feb 2012 #46

I am sorry. But the forum is just as inclusive as it was before... ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #47

I don't know what thread that was Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #41

For it to be locked? No I asked her to unlock it so that I could delete it so that she ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #43

I just looked, and it seems all Meta-ish threads talking about about the forum Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #50

I would agree...if the opportunity had been given for me to delete it. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #53

This isn't my forum by any stretch. Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #55

This is not the feedback I am receiving from the host. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #56

Patriarchy IS class warfare (and vice versa) Remember Me Feb 2012 #109

I am very sorry to see this. wildflower Feb 2012 #19

One of the best ideas in this thread. BlueIris Feb 2012 #63

Thank you BlueIris...please feel free to take the idea and use it! wildflower Feb 2012 #84

As a subscriber Texasgal Feb 2012 #22

It costs money to read/post here? nt Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #28

Ummm sure will. Texasgal Feb 2012 #30

I think you are confused. First, I don't host H&M - never have Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #38

Good GOD! Texasgal Feb 2012 #44

I am as calm as can be. Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #49

I admire you, Neoma enigmatic Feb 2012 #26

Could you kindly correct your grammar in your subject line? hlthe2b Feb 2012 #29

Ya know... UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #40

The admin thing could be because of me justiceischeap Feb 2012 #48

I was more talking about the TONE of her post. UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #52

I agree, it's an obvious attempt BlueIris Feb 2012 #64

I hate to say I told you so.... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #69

Just so I understand Angry Dragon Feb 2012 #51

No, the other thread explains more about why I banned her. MANY reasons. Neoma Feb 2012 #57

hi there Kali Feb 2012 #59

It's a she said she said situation. Neoma Feb 2012 #60

so you objected to the off-DU site by PMs to your co-hosts? Kali Feb 2012 #62

Wow. JTFrog Feb 2012 #130

You really should step down LaurenG Feb 2012 #142

That's a pretty fair summary. n/t laconicsax Feb 2012 #61

you nailed it n/t Scout Feb 2012 #86

Yes, that is it exactly. Rex Feb 2012 #124

I would have preferred option 3 MadrasT Feb 2012 #54

Good grief! Th1onein Feb 2012 #58

Rec - nt Ohio Joe Feb 2012 #65

Congratulations on your appointment as a group co-host here. BlueIris Feb 2012 #68

No announcement, no consultation, no nothing... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #82

To say she's done nothing for you is absolutely false CreekDog Feb 2012 #85

'scuse me, but most of the "work" she did was to clean up the mess Scout Feb 2012 #87

just a fyi, but only juries can hide a post. n/t maddezmom Feb 2012 #88

yes, and anyone can send the alert to the Jury, including Neoma. n/t Scout Feb 2012 #90

this is just more noise CreekDog Feb 2012 #89

what lies have i told? prove it. Scout Feb 2012 #91

Animosity. NT William769 Feb 2012 #93

so, my position according to you is "animosity" and according to CreekDog Scout Feb 2012 #96

"The fact that you are still here is a miracle, and I'm surprised you haven't caught on to that." ellisonz Feb 2012 #66

I've PMd you with some questions. Just like I've done for the past few days... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #67

"Did EarlG give you permission to post his PM?" tammywammy Feb 2012 #70

Sorry, I missed in amongst all the stuff about losing 11 pounds in one day and banning voting! Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #71

Sorry, but she didn't say that. polly7 Feb 2012 #73

No, she said one week. My mistake... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #74

Well, to be fair ........ no-one knows what else is going on with Neoma's life, and polly7 Feb 2012 #75

I honestly don't give a shit about her life story. I was a member here because of feminism... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #76

She wasn't self-appointed. She became host when the previous polly7 Feb 2012 #77

She sacked the other hosts that we'd all elected.... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #78

Ziiiiiing! polly7 Feb 2012 #79

See ya in the other group, polly! Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #80

Bingo. tpsbmam Feb 2012 #83

No one has explicitly brought up the fact that EarlG suggested THREE options, tpsbmam Feb 2012 #81

There is one very good option thus far untouched. WingDinger Feb 2012 #94

Are you forgetting this is a women's forum? UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #97

Just throwing it out there. I dont want to be that nemesis. WingDinger Feb 2012 #98

I was just kidding. UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #99

Yeah, and as long as tpsbmam Feb 2012 #101

+1 snagglepuss Feb 2012 #107

Looks like that is what this group is going to be all about. Rex Feb 2012 #127

Is it possible she was referring to the group being allowed to continue by the admins polly7 Feb 2012 #128

The admins shutting it down isn't any better jeff47 Feb 2012 #129

Right? JTFrog Feb 2012 #131

Have never really read this forum but K8-EEE Feb 2012 #102

The use of women as Rethug whipping girls, has an effect. WingDinger Feb 2012 #103

The thing that everyone seems to be missing here is: Puglover Feb 2012 #104

Unfortunately, to quote Rumsfeld, democracy is messy. WingDinger Feb 2012 #105

I agree with what you say. Puglover Feb 2012 #108

I didn't miss it. In fact, that's the part that bothers me most and why I reacted the way I did. Pithlet Feb 2012 #110

I could not agree more. hlthe2b Feb 2012 #111

+1 ellisonz Feb 2012 #113

There were two election threads. Neoma locked both of them. laconicsax Feb 2012 #115

Why on earth did you not pick option 3? Chemisse Feb 2012 #123

It's easy to speculate why someone wouldn't start an election that may unseat them. laconicsax Feb 2012 #125

Enjoy your fiefdom Amaril Feb 2012 #126

By the way it's "to all who HAVE been concerned". JTFrog Feb 2012 #133

I still has a concern. laconicsax Feb 2012 #134

Bullying: it’s not just for kids polly7 Feb 2012 #135

I agree. Neoma's iron fist is trying to bully us into submission. n/t laconicsax Feb 2012 #136

Not even asking for a democratic solution--asking if there will be a democratic solution. laconicsax Feb 2012 #138

lmao. polly7 Feb 2012 #140

Really ?? polly7 Feb 2012 #139

Thanks for demonstrating that you have no clue what you're talking about. laconicsax Feb 2012 #141
