So we need a new host. [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by EvolveOrConvolve (a host of the Atheists & Agnostics group).

Those of you unaware why can check out this thread to find out the details.

It is with heavy heart that I have to post this for I feel that laconicsax will be sorely missed. If this seems too soon for me to be posting this, know that I just was in email contact with laconicsax and he made it clear that we need to do this sooner than later.

Also, I would like it for this thread not to become too much of a meta discussion of what happened, though I realize that is going to be nearly impossible. At least let's not make this a thread that calls out a bunch of people. Please.

So, let us know if you are interested in being considered for the new host position and then we will start a new thread for the voting process.

So we need a new host. [View all] Goblinmonger Jun 2012 OP
So I think we should discuss it. What laconicsax did was wrong, she will be missed. Warren Stupidity Jun 2012 #1
I agree. What laconicsax did was wrong, to put it mildly. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #5
laconicsax was a male. Goblinmonger Jun 2012 #7
Which might have been funny in a different context. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #10
How is it a lie? Goblinmonger Jun 2012 #11
Wrong, he never told me he was male. Several others refer to him as a her. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #13
I really think you've been gamed. Sorry. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #18
I'm really done with this discussion. Goblinmonger Jun 2012 #21
I am not happy laconicsax was PPR'd. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #29

Huh. Why did I think he wasn't? Warren Stupidity Jun 2012 #42
Oh, crap. Is s/he being given a time out in the corner Warpy Jun 2012 #2
I'll throw my hat into the ring WhollyHeretic Jun 2012 #3
Damn. I was really hoping it wouldn't come to that. eqfan592 Jun 2012 #4
Do you mean "sorely missed" like missing hemorrhoids after laser surgery? Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #8
The blocking of cbayer Goblinmonger Jun 2012 #9
I never had a problem with the blocking and said so at the time. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #12
We are just going to have to disagree about that Goblinmonger Jun 2012 #15
I am not grave dancing. I wish none of this had happened. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #28
Again, this isn't about laconicsax tkmorris Jun 2012 #30
Ya know, I really try my best to avoid putting people on ignore. eqfan592 Jun 2012 #31
And yet here you are trashing one who is banned. JNelson6563 Jun 2012 #61

That really sucks kdmorris Jun 2012 #17

OK, slight--though not unexpected--derailment aside; back to finding a new host. Goblinmonger Jun 2012 #46

Did you say bourbon?? eqfan592 Jun 2012 #52
Digital bourbon. A HERETIC I AM Jun 2012 #53
I'd be willing as well Goblinmonger tkmorris Jun 2012 #54

You make an interesting point. eqfan592 Jun 2012 #56
In an effort for some look into my thinking: Goblinmonger Jun 2012 #57
Thanks for the clarification. eqfan592 Jun 2012 #62
I'll echo what Goblinmonger said and add... EvolveOrConvolve Jun 2012 #66

I don't believe I have the talent enlightenment Jun 2012 #50
I'm not here enough, and I'm too chaotic to be a host of anything. Evoman Jun 2012 #58
I see you have some fine volunteers. JNelson6563 Jun 2012 #60
I vote yes to any of the volunteers who've stepped forward... SidDithers Jun 2012 #65
