During a truly challenging time. I completely understand wanting to retire, now that the dust has begun to settle: I'd be worn out too!

I'm torn about changing the SoP of this group. I think it's wonderful that no one has been blocked, and that we've still managed to keep it civil. But some may use that to attempt another coup. I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid, or just realistic, given the history of this group and others.

I'm happy to keep the co-hosts, and just move everyone up a notch. They're all good people in my book.

We are going to have an election for a new host in this group [View all] yardwork Jun 2012 OP

Some of us had discussed this when we discussed merging FG and F & D obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #1

Skinner has said that if we merge, although he can save all of F&DG's posts... Neoma Jun 2012 #2

Neoma, thanks for your work here, I know you took a lot of abuse to settle some problems here CreekDog Jun 2012 #4

I am looking forward to elections in this forum La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2012 #6

Thank you Neoma and the other hosts that took on the positions maddezmom Jun 2012 #7

Hats off to Neoma and the co-hosts for leading the group through a difficult time Gormy Cuss Jun 2012 #8

Thanks libodem Jun 2012 #9

That's really out of line. I'm guessing some here aren't interested in healing the rift... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #10

If there's any apologies to be made to heal anything, it should be to me. Neoma Jun 2012 #16

You did a great job as host, especially considering all of the attacks Jamastiene Jun 2012 #18

The whole world doesn't revolve around you, Neoma... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #20

Why not an apology that would cost you what ........... 5 seconds of your life? polly7 Jun 2012 #22

I've got nothing tio apologise for, that's why... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #23

Sure you do .......... the links are all still there. nt. polly7 Jun 2012 #24

No, I don't. Please stop telling me what I need to do. Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #25

I didn't tell you what to do, please read more closely. polly7 Jun 2012 #35

Yeah, you actually did. And I wasn't mean, definately not compared to attacks I've seen from you... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #37

No I didn't. Read again. polly7 Jun 2012 #53

In the interest in looking to the future kdmorris Jun 2012 #32

That doesn't sound like looking to the future... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #40

Awesome kdmorris Jun 2012 #51

Yes, the whole world revolves around me, that was exactly what I was saying. Neoma Jun 2012 #46

Neoma... LadyHawkAZ Jun 2012 #48

I'm just not interested in rehashing old drama... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #52

excuse me, but your rehash is showing... Whisp Jun 2012 #56

No rehash from me. I felt it was important to let Neoma know I don't hate her... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #60

I wasn't offended, so that's okay. Whisp Jun 2012 #62

I don't dislike you. I simply don't understand the attacks, not only by you. Neoma Jun 2012 #57

Neoma is not rehashing. Whisp Jun 2012 #64

So are these things really that good or what? snooper2 Jun 2012 #119

Hey, Neoma :) Whisp Jun 2012 #55

Are you insinuating that seaybeyond is a trans-phobic with that "I assure you" link? Little Star Jun 2012 #21

iverglas DM'ed it to me. Neoma Jun 2012 #26

It is transphobic. The statements in that screen shot DM are extremely transphobic. yardwork Jun 2012 #27

But iverglas is gone? DURHAM D Jun 2012 #28

The whole riot was because I fired and blocked iverglas. Neoma Jun 2012 #31

No. It wasn't about iverglas at all. n/t MadrasT Jun 2012 #45

Not at first, no. Neoma Jun 2012 #47

Like Voldemort, her name cannot be spoken FloridaJudy Jun 2012 #59

Truth, plain and clear Whoa_Nelly Jun 2012 #63

All I can say is, the way you read that is not in anyway.. Little Star Jun 2012 #29

The statements in that screen shot are vile transphobia. yardwork Jun 2012 #30

yardwork that screen shot is out of context. Ask Neoma to provide the whole conversation... Little Star Jun 2012 #38

Yes, they are. Jamastiene Jun 2012 #69

I'm not pointing out seabeyond in that screen shot. Neoma Jun 2012 #33

Can I make a suggestion? Everyone needs to leave the past in the past... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #39

Thank you and I agree. DURHAM D Jun 2012 #41

+1,000,000 Gormy Cuss Jun 2012 #43

I'm where you are at! Little Star Jun 2012 #49

I'm getting the distinct impression that's not the view of some who've posted... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #58

The F and F&D groups seem to have done pretty well at getting feminism polly7 Jun 2012 #61

And HoF hasn't? That's news to me... Violet_Crumble Jun 2012 #71

IMHO there's just a bit of exorcising demons happening right now Gormy Cuss Jun 2012 #79

Well said! yardwork Jun 2012 #83

You did a great job. RobertBlue Jun 2012 #42

I think rrneck Jun 2012 #116

When you chase someone into libodem Jun 2012 #50

I understand where you're coming from on this Gormy Cuss Jun 2012 #13

That is really not necessary kdmorris Jun 2012 #34

Well, my mind has now been made up. Texasgal Jun 2012 #44

Here's a proces that should work quite well. laconicsax Jun 2012 #11

That is a good general process Ms. Toad Jun 2012 #77

My thoughts on that are to not worry about it. laconicsax Jun 2012 #78

I am just remembering the last time this group decided Ms. Toad Jun 2012 #80

That's a good point. We should start thinking about details. Whisp Jun 2012 #91

Thanks Neoma! n/t zappaman Jun 2012 #14

Great job Neoma! Marcel Jun 2012 #36

We need to continue talking about how to hold the election. yardwork Jun 2012 #65

Are you trying to unofficially merge the feminist forum with HOF? And if so, why? Lars39 Jun 2012 #66

The merger under consideration is not with HoF. Old and In the Way Jun 2012 #68

That was my understanding also until tonight Lars39 Jun 2012 #70

Anyuture merger will be between FG and FD obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #73

I can see why you have questions, given the way that this thread has gone. yardwork Jun 2012 #72

I think the forum will be in very capable hands with you hosting it, yardwork. Old and In the Way Jun 2012 #74

maddezmom has kindly agreed to serve as an interim co-host yardwork Jun 2012 #75

I support that. kdmorris Jun 2012 #93

And we have more! See downthread a bit. yardwork Jun 2012 #94

See what happens when I try to post from the top down? kdmorris Jun 2012 #96

Thanks maddezmom Jun 2012 #104

I trust yardwork's sincerity on the subject of healing DU. ZombieHorde Jun 2012 #82

Cheers to a job well done, Neoma! Old and In the Way Jun 2012 #67

I want to throw in with Old and In The Way. Nice job. Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2012 #76

Let me throw in too--Neoma, you are a stellar human being. MADem Jun 2012 #85

Maddezmom, Gormy Cuss, Obamanut2012, and Starry Messenger are interim co-hosts! yardwork Jun 2012 #81

can I make a small suggestion for those who will be nominating themselves? Whisp Jun 2012 #86

Great idea! A position statement on their experience, and their vision for the group, etc. yardwork Jun 2012 #88

yay! nice line up. Whisp Jun 2012 #87

Thank you for helping to make it happen. yardwork Jun 2012 #89

I've always wanted a sycophant obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #99

Damn... can one be a sycophant kdmorris Jun 2012 #102

Damn straight I'm jealous! laconicsax Jun 2012 #103

Come to think of it kdmorris Jun 2012 #105
