There are vicious bullies that participate regularly in this group. Pretty much everyone who has visited the Religion (or previous R/T) forum knows that. And people who have had to moderate it in the past know it particularly well.

I was ok with cbayer as a host and afaik she hasn't pulled rank, but if this is how she really feels I have to wonder if she is really a good choice to host this group.
