18. Lithos would have gotten my vote

if he'd submitted his name and gone through a vote. That didn't happen here.

I'm not questioning his qualifications. I expressly brought up his name and undergroundrailroad's. Indicating a desire or at least a willingness to serve wouldn't have biased the debate one way or the other.

Did I want the spot? Sort of. I would have served. Would I have gotten it? Not likely. I'm too contentious a choice. I'd have to have demonstrated my ability to be impartial as a lower host for a while before a lot of people here would have stood for me in the top spot.

But checking the legalese, the admins don't promise a democratic choosing of hosts. They say they have that option. With this appointment over the head of an ongoing discussion about hosting and the outright banning of longtime poster defendandprotect over chemtrails, the admins are making their intentions toward this group rather clear.

I must object to Lithos being assigned as Host of this Group. [View all] Make7 Dec 2011 OP

I was hoping Lithos and undergroundrailroad both would throw their hats into the ring Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #1

Lithos has been mod of this group for, like, ever jberryhill Dec 2011 #2

By the letter, there was never a 9/11 Group, Conspiracy Group, Speculation Group, etc... greyl Dec 2011 #4

AFAIK Lithos never posted anything noise Dec 2011 #5

Who better to keep the peace? jberryhill Dec 2011 #7

I think Make7 made his point quite clearly. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #6

I guess I just don't see it as that big a deal jberryhill Dec 2011 #8

Well, the group didn't decide to have one or not. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #9

If we had someone doing that jberryhill Dec 2011 #10

I think a clear majority of those who replied thought there should be at least 1 host. greyl Dec 2011 #41

yes, perhaps so. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #42

I don't have a problem with him. I like Lithos. Make7 Dec 2011 #47

As far as I can determine, this is your first statement on the matter anywhere in this new group. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #13

Just logged on 1st time BeFree Dec 2011 #17

That's what we'd been working up to in the various host discussion threads we had going. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #20

jmo, but I have no problem with Lithos being the first host and I think there should be others maddezmom Dec 2011 #15

Lithos would have gotten my vote Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #18

Can we question Lithos now? BeFree Dec 2011 #19

What is 'BUSHCO"? n/t zappaman Dec 2011 #31

to me it's shorthand for the Bush Administration maddezmom Dec 2011 #32

so everyone in the BUSH administration is guilty of something when it comes to 9/11? zappaman Dec 2011 #34

no not everyone, like I said it's shorthand maddezmom Dec 2011 #37

Moderation is very different on DU3 then DU2 Ohio Joe Dec 2011 #43

I am surprised to see this since this was supposed to be a group decision. Grateful for Hope Dec 2011 #44

Shouldn't there be some kind of vote? Cherchez la Femme Dec 2011 #45

That was my understanding. Grateful for Hope Dec 2011 #46

I agree with the OP. eomer Dec 2011 #48
