Not knowing anything at all about why anyone would not like you, do you know what the issues are?

I have issues with one host, and I don't post in that safe harbor group because I was attacked there (not by one of the hosts - by another member) with an insult that should have immediately resulted in blocking my attacker from the group (in other words, the attack itself violated the safe harbor purpose of the group). The hosts (and one in particular) refused for a couple of days to intervene using the excuse that the jury had hidden the post - why would I expect more? (The person who attacked me was eventually blocked from the group, but the damage was already done in terms of whether I had any interest in participating there.)

If you believe the issues involve a perception that your hosting would not allow people who need this group to participate safely (like the above), then you might want to abstain in the interests of making the group more welcoming. If it is just the average cranky DU stuff, it shouldn't be an issue.
