(36,002 posts)From reading it, the first mention of BOG and HOF I noticed was from sheshe2 in this post http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025151629#post71
(On edit- I just spotted that someone mentioned in an earlier post they'd been blocked from the BOG, so I was incorrect about the above being the first mention of the BOG)
I haven't got any interest in BOG or the EE group and have never even visited the latter. But I'm a co-founder and member of HOF and don't like that there's at least two feminists who've been blocked from the group. I wish the hosts would revisit those decisions and reverse those blocks.
When it comes to groups that have long lists of blocked DUers, the reality is that hosts can do whatever they want, but there's also the reality that DUers will have opinions about their actions and they'll voice those opinions. I copped a lot of shit back when I was hosting HOF, which made me decide I wasn't cut out to be a host of a group that attracted lots of fighting and stuff, so I decided on the spot that when Skinner finally saw sense and asked me to become the host of the I/P group, I'd have to gracefully decline!
