6. That was a set of guidelines

There was a set of guidelines for how a group *might* self-organize. However, this forum is a bit different as it is well known for being extremely polarized. Skinner wanted us to make sure that it was organized evenly which is why I am now the primary host for the group as I moderated this forum for over 10 years and am fairly familiar with its ins and outs.

I am currently seeking cohosts for this group who represent the wide spectrum of members. I am primarily interested in people who 1) Have shown some affinity to this group and to DU and 2) Do not have a history of personal attacks or disruptive behavior. Beliefs do not matter so long as they have not involved promotion of hateful memes (such as the Jews/Israel did it, or promotion of groups/sites which represent such beliefs) which is obviously contrary to the core TOS.

My goal/hope is that such a group will be able to prove effective at self-policing things by removing the confrontational element and by providing a set of consistent expectations.
