The Reason I Have Been Silent. [View all] Neoma Feb 2012 OP

By removing all cohosts, you have brazenly abused your power. laconicsax Feb 2012 #1

This has launched into insanity. PassingFair Feb 2012 #2

I subscribe to this forum, but have purposely followed this debacle in only a very superficial way.. hlthe2b Feb 2012 #3

Neoma recently PM'd me to say that she had admin approval for her actions. laconicsax Feb 2012 #4

If you have reason to doubt, I would urge you to PM Skinner directly. n/t hlthe2b Feb 2012 #10

Sir, keep in mind that admins do not sit in judge and jury on Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #23

Leader doesn't look so week to me. she has not been in there for 7 days, so a week seabeyond Feb 2012 #235

I don't understand. Lisa D Feb 2012 #236

Why should I? laconicsax Feb 2012 #50

Because you are on the wrong side of the attacks Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #57

me wants that for the entertainment value. seabeyond Feb 2012 #58

Again, I did no such thing. laconicsax Feb 2012 #60

Imagine that. rug Feb 2012 #168

But one of the hosts of this forum did do those things. Lisa D Feb 2012 #48

The solution to that was to remove the offending hosts or get them to resign. laconicsax Feb 2012 #52

I am very glad to hear that some of the hosts were aware of the problem. Lisa D Feb 2012 #55

Point of clarification. There is no "feud" between this group and LGBT. yardwork Feb 2012 #115

I agree. I misspoke when I mentioned the feud. n/t laconicsax Feb 2012 #206

Dear sir, several of you publically and loudly called for a coup. Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #27

having an election is a coup. having no votes and declaring victory is honorable. this is the world seabeyond Feb 2012 #33

You all discussed it before redqueen stepped down William769 Feb 2012 #36

I thought we got past the "power grab" nonsense a few days ago. Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #29

Removing all other hosts and shutting down discussion on the matter isn't a power grab? laconicsax Feb 2012 #43

Unilaterally sacking every other host IS a power-grab... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #64

So you thought that was settled on Tuesday, did you? redqueen Feb 2012 #139

What, the "power grab" accusations? Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #162

If there ever was an argument for a host Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #30

I totally AGREE, Ruby. But why would she WANT it? pacalo Feb 2012 #35

I have no clue. Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #53

Hey, pac. I don't agree with you at all given her unilateral sacking of all other hosts today... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #66

Yes, the bit where she sacks the other hosts coz someone dared unpin her post is a highlight... Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #70

things are in flux quinnox Feb 2012 #72

You think a lead host should just unilaterally remove co hosts? boston bean Feb 2012 #77

She is making the argument that she had no choice quinnox Feb 2012 #82

would that be when she refused to talk to any cohosts from saturday evening on? we would be the ones seabeyond Feb 2012 #85

That is something for Neoma to answer but quinnox Feb 2012 #92

we can create any story that we want as a supposition. saturday night she quit talking to us seabeyond Feb 2012 #93

As you know, they probably weren't "independent" decisions --just independent from you Remember Me Feb 2012 #124
