In reply to the discussion: We are going to have an election for a new host in this group [View all]Neoma
(10,039 posts)46. Yes, the whole world revolves around me, that was exactly what I was saying.
The whole world may not have, but meta sure did. The future will not be bright if all of HOF ignores that it ever happened. People have not moved on, they're still attacking each other, and to deny that it came from the feb/mar flame-war is tying your hands behind your backs. To deny it wasn't about me in the end, is also setting yourself up. People have long memories. I have no control whether or not people attack you in meta, or any reason to get in that mess. I only look in meta to see if I'm being attacked again. Can you say the same?
What did I do? I let people rant about me with hundreds of posts and dozens of threads. I locked the flame-war threads. What did I do? I fired iverglas and blocked her for being transphobic and shunning men along with feeding the flame-war when I asked her to stop, and bringing the flame-war into the Feminist's group. What did I do? I fired Redqueen (Who I accepted as a co-host, hoping she'd help!), seabeyond, and laconisax for not only not helping me with iverglas, but for attempting a coup and demanding my head on a platter! I decided to be silent because everyone was attacking me at once. Have you ever gotten used to seeing people say how horrible you are? Seeing peoppe barf at your name?
I was elected, then rejected. I didn't ask for any of this. I simply went for what I thought the only option there was for me, and tried to pull through with my dignity intact. The most hilarious thing about it all, is that I offered my position to Redqueen before I actually caught on to what the flame-war was about.
I just have one real question for you: do you really miss iverglas THAT much? To practically spit in my face with this nonsense that the only way to go through the future is to ignore the past? The group that insults me so frequently has the word history in it! You gotta enjoy the irony there.
The reason I can't leave this in the past is because I cannot forgive you, and many other people. No remorse or reflection... I believe that is heartless, cold, and vile. You hate me for christsakes! I have done nothing but try to do my best for this group.
I'm sorry to have even gone on DU. Because I'm very sure that your reply will be insulting and cruel.
I want no beef with HOF, I want to be left alone by all of you. Do you think I don't catch on to what all of you say?

Neoma, thanks for your work here, I know you took a lot of abuse to settle some problems here

That's really out of line. I'm guessing some here aren't interested in healing the rift...

Yeah, you actually did. And I wasn't mean, definately not compared to attacks I've seen from you...

No rehash from me. I felt it was important to let Neoma know I don't hate her...

Are you insinuating that seaybeyond is a trans-phobic with that "I assure you" link?

It is transphobic. The statements in that screen shot DM are extremely transphobic.

yardwork that screen shot is out of context. Ask Neoma to provide the whole conversation...

Can I make a suggestion? Everyone needs to leave the past in the past...

I'm getting the distinct impression that's not the view of some who've posted...

Are you trying to unofficially merge the feminist forum with HOF? And if so, why?

I think the forum will be in very capable hands with you hosting it, yardwork.

Great idea! A position statement on their experience, and their vision for the group, etc.

I agree, and a little bit of praise (in fact a lot of praise) is very welcome here.
