We should avoid it at all costs and focus on the group.

There is nothing that can be said or done to change any of the minds of the small group of people who continue to attack us via meta.

And I am sorry, but I cannot allow people who post such attacks on us in META to post in here at free will. I know that it makes me uncomfortable when those who are constantly attacking us in META are posting in here. I assume it is the same for all our members. That is not a safe haven.

I have said it before, if you don't respect the group and try to work things out in a respectful manner here with the members and hosts, and you go right to meta with any complaint, I do question ones motives. And the only conclusion I can come to is they were here to disrupt only. Looking for a block, so they could high five their internet buddies and get another 4-5 threads droning on and on about how unfair we are.

There are constant threads. We get attacked for blocking people. We get attacked for not blocking certain people. We get it from every angle, no matter what we do, we should have done the opposite, even if it was something they complained about earlier and the position is the exact opposite of the position taken earlier by our attackers. You are suppose to act at their will. No matter what.

And the complaints about the voting eligibility list are way out there. There are THREE ways one can become eligible to vote in group matters, and it is not a MEMBER LIST. And the only reason we had a need for it was because of the previous brouhaha. Imagine if we didn't have a voting eligibility list. Those who hold such grudges would all come in here and to take over our group.

A safe haven cannot be run that way.
