We should ALL have the opportunity to voice whom we'd like to host and co-host this forum. However, the "election" that was started to unseat Neoma was not going to allow ALL of the votes to count. When the election was almost over, it was revealed that only votes of the "regular" posters would count.

What constitues a "regular" poster was never actually defined, but it did include posters who were not members of the group. And, apparently, some subscribed members of this group were not considered "regular" posters. So, I'm afraid Neoma hasn't been the only heavy-handed one around here.
