You might have pinned the thread by mistake but blocking mopinko from the group is an action without any basis in rules or procedures.

And, frankly, blocking her and pinning the post makes it all look really really bad.

I think a different host would be a good thing for this group, education is too important and with anything important there are going to be arguments.

You can't just block someone from OUR group.

Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I agree, hosts should stay above their personal emotions.. You know, look at the big picture, crunch60 Feb 2012 #26

And I vehemently oppose the hostility in that thread proud2BlibKansan Feb 2012 #10
