But as BeFree just demonstrated, we still have people who haven't logged in yet, most notably from the freethinker side of the issue. There's a limit to how long we can wait, but I also don't think things are moving with such speed down here.

And it's not about anyone possibly beating Lithos in a vote, either. I would have voted for him (among others) myself. I brought up his name in the other thread. It's about the callousness shown toward the actual discussion that was going on. How can you build a consensus in a group with a history of bad blood between both sides? With respect. The admins installing Lithos without following the recommended procedure, indeed, trampling on that procedure, isn't a sign of respect for the group or any participants in it.

Yeesh. I'm beginning to think noise has a point about authoritarianism.

I was hoping Lithos and undergroundrailroad both would throw their hats into the ring Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #1

Lithos has been mod of this group for, like, ever jberryhill Dec 2011 #2

I think Make7 made his point quite clearly. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #6

I guess I just don't see it as that big a deal jberryhill Dec 2011 #8

Well, the group didn't decide to have one or not. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #9

If we had someone doing that jberryhill Dec 2011 #10

I think a clear majority of those who replied thought there should be at least 1 host. greyl Dec 2011 #41

yes, perhaps so. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #42

I don't have a problem with him. I like Lithos. Make7 Dec 2011 #47

As far as I can determine, this is your first statement on the matter anywhere in this new group. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #13

Just logged on 1st time BeFree Dec 2011 #17

That's what we'd been working up to in the various host discussion threads we had going. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #20

jmo, but I have no problem with Lithos being the first host and I think there should be others maddezmom Dec 2011 #15

Lithos would have gotten my vote Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #18

Can we question Lithos now? BeFree Dec 2011 #19

there are no mods anymore and like i said I didn't post much here, but didn't mean I didn't read. maddezmom Dec 2011 #21

Yes, I know BeFree Dec 2011 #22

not sure what you mean maddezmom Dec 2011 #23

Question BeFree Dec 2011 #24

I don't have a clear position...I'm not in either camp so to speak. maddezmom Dec 2011 #25

Thank you BeFree Dec 2011 #26

I think the Bush Adminstration has a measure of guilt. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #27

Yes BeFree Dec 2011 #28

And since maddezmom and I agree, I'm cool by you as well? n/t Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #29

I do remember, and I said nothing totally different at all. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #40

What is 'BUSHCO"? n/t zappaman Dec 2011 #31

to me it's shorthand for the Bush Administration maddezmom Dec 2011 #32

so everyone in the BUSH administration is guilty of something when it comes to 9/11? zappaman Dec 2011 #34

no not everyone, like I said it's shorthand maddezmom Dec 2011 #37

Moderation is very different on DU3 then DU2 Ohio Joe Dec 2011 #43

I am surprised to see this since this was supposed to be a group decision. Grateful for Hope Dec 2011 #44

That was my understanding. Grateful for Hope Dec 2011 #46

I agree with the OP. eomer Dec 2011 #48
