In reply to the discussion: We are going to have an election for a new host in this group [View all]Violet_Crumble
(36,142 posts)10. That's really out of line. I'm guessing some here aren't interested in healing the rift...
I was critical of Neoma's actions and judgment as a Host. People are able to criticise the actions of a Host and it's not all the ridiculous things you say. Hell, I copped abuse as a Host, and I didn't see you attacking anyone who criticised me as being any of those things...
I told Yardwork I'd return, but I'm not going to be returning if abuse such as what you've just posted is going to be what I return to.
edit: I hope you consider self-deleting that attack. That's something I'd expect would go down well in Meta for those who are interested in waging battle with other DUers.

Neoma, thanks for your work here, I know you took a lot of abuse to settle some problems here

Yeah, you actually did. And I wasn't mean, definately not compared to attacks I've seen from you...

No rehash from me. I felt it was important to let Neoma know I don't hate her...

Are you insinuating that seaybeyond is a trans-phobic with that "I assure you" link?

It is transphobic. The statements in that screen shot DM are extremely transphobic.

yardwork that screen shot is out of context. Ask Neoma to provide the whole conversation...

Can I make a suggestion? Everyone needs to leave the past in the past...

I'm getting the distinct impression that's not the view of some who've posted...

Are you trying to unofficially merge the feminist forum with HOF? And if so, why?

I think the forum will be in very capable hands with you hosting it, yardwork.

Great idea! A position statement on their experience, and their vision for the group, etc.

I agree, and a little bit of praise (in fact a lot of praise) is very welcome here.
