"How did we get a host?" a locked thread asks? Here is the answer.

74. Lol! You must live in some sort of bizarro world.

Nobody has questioned kris's "right to exist" or post whatever the heck he likes. Quite the contrary, it has been kris who has been calling for banning/blocking pro-nuclear posters (even "ran on that platform&quot and is irate not that we have a host, but that we have one who won't shut down anyone who disagrees with kris. He calls people names and then whines that everyone is calling him names. He insults and then whines that he's insulted. He makes personal attacks and then complains that others are making personal attacks. He dredges up long-dead threads where he feels he was mistreated and insists that others account for them before being qualified to host... all while ignoring identical behavior on his part which no doubt was justified by the fact that he judged that the person deserved it.

There needs to be some serious ass-spanking, smack-downing until everything posted in this group that doesn't pass as semi-respectable, polite discussion is gone

That isn't the role of the host. DU3 has a perfectly acceptable system for doing just that. If you think that a post is out of line, then alert it. Half a dozen DUers will be selected (based on valid metrics) to judge whether or not the post is reasonable. Not only will the offending post be hidden, but the poster's statistics will be available for all to see. If some pro-nuke is a serial offender, you'll be able to say "in the last 90 days, a jury of her peers have found her posts to be offensive 22 times!"

I'm beginning to think that I was wrong earlier in assuming that it was mere paranoia assuming that you fear other doing what you would do to them if given the power. Perhaps you're concerned about what that impartial jury will do not because they won't be fair... but because they will be fair.

Given your past record, perhaps that fear is warranted.
