who is without biases of some sort. One purpose of free and open debate is to cull out those statements and arguments that are inaccurate or invalid due to that bias, and when allowed to proceed relatively unimpeded, it does a very good job at it. As long as no restrictions beyond those placed on all groups and forums here have been imposed, the fact that someone has biases should not, by itself, disqualify them from hosting or participating.

Not that such a thing couldn't happen...after all, someone tried to have this entire group shut down in the old DU2. So..eternal vigilance.
