I am not sure why there is so much harping about betraying confidences. Yes, the 5 of you are hosts but you are hosts for your membership. If you membership wants clarification over some issue, we deserve to get it.

I don't care that much that you guys created a second forum to discuss hosting issues. I do care if you created the forum to circumvent transparency and circumvent the fact that the hosting forum here does not demand confidentiality.

Also, since the LGBT forum has been cited as a comparison here multiple times. There was a dust-up in the lgbt forum on DU2 as we had forum hosts/liaisons in DU2. The forum members demanded to see why a decision was made. Why the decision was made was revealed and the decision was overturned. This is not the only forum in which members demand transparency and clarifications from their hosts.
