In reply to the discussion: To all who has been concerned. [View all]sorry to butt in but I have this strange need for fairness and truth. you wrote
Apparently instead of wanting to sort things out with me, she wanted to ban members she was upset with in the flame-war.
which looks like speculation to me. is there any evidence of this motive you are attributing to someone who can't respond here? I have read the off-site postings and didn't really see you objecting to the site itself at all, although you did question the need to ban one poster. I guess I am missing the evidence that you felt uncomfortable with the method of host communication until after the fact.
did you actually discuss your discomfort with your co-hosts at the time, anywhere? I haven't seen it anywhere I have looked - the long threads in meta, the host forum, the off-site host page with 40 posts in it, here in this group. Perhaps you communicated your discomfort/objections to the off-site discussion with the other hosts by PM? I'm curious why YOU didn't bring it up anywhere if you were unsure of its legitimacy.
I am sorry to step in and question a host of a forum I don't belong to, but I am trying hard to see your point of view and I confess this rather difficult given all the evidence I have looked at so far.

This is as awesome & as on target as a comment could be in regard to how this OP affected me, too.

Forgive me for my writing skills, but I find it odd that you would talk to me like that.

You have shown real courage this past week, Neoma. This is what feminism is all about.

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

It was not. It was a thread on my experience here, as a feminist and what I saw happening.

I honestly don't give a shit about her life story. I was a member here because of feminism...

Is it possible she was referring to the group being allowed to continue by the admins

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

It's easy to speculate why someone wouldn't start an election that may unseat them.

Not even asking for a democratic solution--asking if there will be a democratic solution.
