I am calling for an election for new hosts

[The empressof all]

58. They have over and over again

If you would like perhaps we should start a thread to put this out again.

If people across the board report this feeling at some point you need to address it. Clearly you know that some people feel they will be attacked here by other members. As hosts you need to find a way to make the environment less friendly to those who use the group in a manner that is hostile and unwelcoming.

I didn't see your thread about ideas to end the infighting. That's a shame people didn't participate.

Maybe you need to reframe the discussion and solicit opinion and construct an expectation of non judgemental responses.

When groups brainstorm the participants refrain from naysaying and excuse making. Perhaps utilizing those techniques in framing your requests could garner better responses.

Please understand, I have nothing against any of the hosts past or present ...but there is a problem here that you all need to stop denying or blaming others for.

If you want to lead you need to understand that people aren't always going to be direct and you need to pay attention to what isn't said as much as what is.

On Edit: OK I found your thread. It wasn't clear to me that was an attempt to elicit discussion on how to make this a more comfortable home. Honestly I'm not interested in fighting and refighting this as a battle of bullies or LBGT against feminists battle. I think looking at it that way is short sighted and poisons the well so to speak.
