In reply to the discussion: I would like to propose to remove a group host. [View all]Adsos Letter
(19,459 posts)15. No.
As far as limiting or controlling discussion I haven't seen cbayer doing anything favoring her dad over anyone else. I don't see anything wrong with her taking up for her dad in discussion.
As far as bias goes, she is expressing a characterization about someone she knows personally. She may very well be right or wrong on the matter but it's still her characterization, and people are free to accept/reject as they so choose. I see no problem, as long as she isn't being vindictive in her exercise of authority. I haven't seen anything to suggest that she is that type of person.
As far as the "personal attack" goes, she didn't name any names or point to any posts so I suppose it is up to the readers to make the identification, or not. It's a close call, I admit.
For transparency's sake: I disagree with her dad's apparent willingness to skate too close to the Church/State line in his desire to bring religion into the debate over the direction of the nation, but as long as cbayer continues to operate as equitably as possible I have no objection to her hosting.

I don't know. I mean, until/if she ever abuses her Hostess power and locks people's threads...

I don't see any need, so long as there is a balance of views among the hosts
