" This group of relentless bullies "

What the HECK is that phrase all about, other than sheer paranoia?

Obviously too too immature to host or manage any kind of free discussion.

How do we go about doing this in a fair and just manner? Can we just ask the group host to resign?

Absent that, what procedures are in place?

I see we have juries for posters and their posts, what about for hosts?
