You are well acquainted with the rules of being a forum host. Individual hosts are permitted to discuss any topic in PMs and we are also permitted to discuss any topic with members outside the host forum. There is no expectation of privacy as a forum host. We have even exchanged PMs between ourselves from time to time.

While discussing votes outside the forum is unprofessional, there also is not a loyalty oath that members take when they volunteer to be a forum host that they will not discuss decisions made within the group after they retire or even while they are serving.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not perfect myself and that I've made mistakes during my service as a host, but you are accusing other hosts of being more conservative or not being open to transparency which is an attack in itself because they disagree with you when making decisions.

I could elaborate on your comment, "Some want to censor everything that doesn't meet their ideology" and provide an example of a completely different stance that you exercised in the hosts forum recently. You even double-downed and complained about a host decision in a safe haven group which was disrespectful and irritated many other hosts.

Stated simply, you don't get to play coy and innocent in open forums because you are far from it. You are criticizing other hosts in an open forum and in this instance you are the person that started it. Quite frankly, you owe the rest of the hosts an apology for making such an unprofessional comment like you did in post #56.

As a DU host, do you ever vote to lock any threads? yardwork Nov 2015 #90

Hosts I trust posted that you and another host refused to lock. yardwork Nov 2015 #94

He rarely actually votes pintobean Nov 2015 #95

Hey pintobean. I miss you in the hosts forum. What happened may I ask? rhett o rick Nov 2015 #103

Are they still trying to pretend that consensus has to be unanimous? I recall that was the BS when bettyellen Nov 2015 #221

Yup. pintobean Nov 2015 #224

that is ridiculous. You might as well not have hosts then. Plus they would suddenly change their bettyellen Nov 2015 #228

Consensus wasn't reached on that OP cyberswede Nov 2015 #322

Did you vote to lock Nance Gregg's follow up thread? yardwork Nov 2015 #323

Keep asking those questions yardwork, I'm glad you're going to be a host. I hope we are not talking seaglass Nov 2015 #327

Thank you, and yes, my question is why wasn't OS's thread locked. yardwork Nov 2015 #339

Why is this thread still open? Rex Nov 2015 #347

I've given up sending SOP alerts. Waste of time. yardwork Nov 2015 #360

At least you've tried over the years yardwork. Rex Nov 2015 #367

Thank you for those kind words. I respect you, Rex. yardwork Nov 2015 #371

You are a good host yardwork. Rex Nov 2015 #374

I didn't see Nance's follow up thread cyberswede Nov 2015 #328

As far as transparency, I am all in favor. But I wouldn't discuss host decisions out side rhett o rick Nov 2015 #109

The poster told me that other hosts were discussing that I was voting rhett o rick Nov 2015 #156

I seem to recall you posted more about who alerted or who was alerted on- rather than the content bettyellen Nov 2015 #222

Good to see you again. No your memory has it mixed up just a bit. You guys do the lists, rhett o rick Nov 2015 #227

Bullshit- you absolutely had a list, and advised other hosts to ignore us all if we alerted. bettyellen Nov 2015 #230

Evidently. I was interested to see how many people have noticed the same issues. yardwork Nov 2015 #314

Very well known... SidDithers Nov 2015 #321

It seems that might be best. Why have any moderating if it is going to be so biased? yardwork Nov 2015 #324

No, Rick. zappaman Nov 2015 #433

You nailed it. bettyellen Nov 2015 #470

You had a list- or "group" you referred to in the hosts forum, if I recall..... bettyellen Nov 2015 #126

Well, I know some "hosts" do have lists. George II Nov 2015 #146

I remember that! zappaman Nov 2015 #150

Yep, they literally listed out DUers who should be ignored and are pissed others put them on a list? bettyellen Nov 2015 #195

Seriously? JustAnotherGen Nov 2015 #200

Yep, me Peace Nikki, Number23 and Zappaman were among those that this poster advised others bettyellen Nov 2015 #219

Thank you- I agree they are good people. Most of the alerts I saw were on racist and sexist crap.... bettyellen Nov 2015 #471
