In reply to the discussion: I have unblocked iverglas [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)75. i sent a post to neoma pointing out the rules and our agreement that no one could ban
a member of the forum unilaterally, with laconicsax and redqueens voice. the three of us discussed it and redqueen unbanned iverglas. other members of the forum weighed in. i am guessing redqueen took responsibility for her actions, hence her comment.

If everyone resigned except requeen, then she would be re-installed as top host

I still think it's important to have a host up the top who has been voted in.

How about we just agree not to make anybody with a history of homo- or transphobic comments a host?

your defense of transphobia this week makes you VASTLY unqualified to be a host of this forum

you can only be a feminist "first and foremost" if nothing else oppresses you more.
