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

[FBaggins]

149. Sure.

Start with his first post on the topic - http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1127&pid=77
Then read through this thread re: which posters he thinks are really just disrupters blocking an open discussion. It's anyone who supports nuclear power.

Or rather... it's perfectly ok to support nuclear power so long as when he posts that nuclear power isn't the answer... you can't disagree with him.

Then go ahead and take a look at the comments he links to in his #137 (on this thread). The intent is plain. He hasn't just decided that he's right and others are wrong... he's so clearly right that disagreements are tantamount to claiming that the sun rises in the West... and thus are disruptive on their face. He actually thinks that these posts demonstrate that he's the man for the job - rather than just the opposite.

This is because he thinks that the job of host is (or should be) to identify acceptable positions and keep the others from distracting from those positions. The very definition of a purity test.
