The empressof all (26,807 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail128. Actually HH That is not the caseThe general clear consensus if for Lucinda to be the "first" host. There are co host spots ....You should be asking her.
housewolf (6,968 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail129. I think it's a stretch to call that a "consensus"I stated that I had no reason to say "no" and and then went on to strongly support someone else. Someone who's been a frequent poster and contributor to the group for 2 or more years. Someone we all know and who knows us and the workings of our group. C&B has been probably THE number one LEAST contentious group in all of DU. Yet all of a sudden you, who didn't even know C&B existed until 2 days ago, show up after contacting Skinner and getting yourself appointed host without the knowledge or consent of anyone in the group, and your first post is "I want to be the host of this forum". Now you come here TODAY asking to be made host again, even though the group has selected someone else YESTERDAY. Frankly, I don't understand your actions. I understand that you are hosting/co-hosting some other groups. Wouldn't you like to spend some time in C&B, get to know us and figure out how the group works and decide whether you even like us or not before committing to host? And whether you have the time to host/co-host multiple forums/groups? So far, the only discussion you've participated in at C&B has been about you yourself, nothing that's cooking or baking-related. Please explain.
HopeHoops (23,405 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail138. I've tried in other posts, but again, I didn't realize there was a preferred member already......and just wanted to be A host - not necessarily the LEAD host. When I saw that Lucinda had applied, I gave my vote for lead host to Lucinda. Apparently she is the "obvious" choice for the group and I'm not going to argue with that. Co hosting is fine by me. As for the posts "about me", that was simply to introduce myself and supply credentials for wanting to be a host. If all I knew how to do was grill hot dogs, that wouldn't really qualify me now would it? There's no malicious intent. I think this is a great group and one of the more valuable "go to" spots for when you screw up - things like "I'm out of baking powder, what do I do?" - "use baking soda with cream of tarter?
housewolf (6,968 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail141. Thanks for your replyI still don't understand why you wanted to host C&B when you're already hosting a bunch of other groups and you've never visited C&B before, had no idea what we're doing there, don't know any of us and don't know whether you'll like it there or not, Frankly, it rather felt to me as though an intruder had come in and was trying to bully his way into taking over. So be it. I saw that you decided to not compete with the group's choice and I applaud you for that. Peace, brother! I hope you have fun in C&B. It seems you have a lot of knowledge and experience and much to contribute. I look forward to your participation.
kdmorris (2,731 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail131. I believe that the general consensus is actually for Lucinda to do it. She can add you as a host after Skinner makes her the host of the group, if that is her wish. Edited to add the link to the consensus for Lucinda: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1157635
HopeHoops (23,405 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail137. Upon closer reads, I agree - the concensus is for Lucinda (and I threw my weight behind her too).I'd just like to be A host.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1013434#Oh my.This is from a campfire where Skins is soliciting hosts for the various DU groups.That's odd.Lucinda was franksolich's choice too.
The vicious, hateful old crones in the cooking group are just as despicable as any other group of DUmbasses.
The general clear consensus if for Lucinda to be the "first" host
129. I think it's a stretch to call that a "consensus"
These are the same people that think 200 dirty, smelly, hippies make up the "99%".
To be fair, they certainly aren't in the 1%.
That's what Tangerine LaBamba told us the night of December 17, 2009, and what I soon thereafter learned with harsh startlity.There's nothing "nice" about any of them excepting, well, maybe Lucinda.
Lucinda, it's rumored, is the nicest DUmmy one could ever hope to meet.But still a DUmmy.
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
Well, Lucinda can't be Frank's mole, because he said he does everything the exact opposite of what he is in real life. So who is:Ill-manneredChristian basherBig drinker & drug takerA sloppy writerAllergic to work??? Could be anybody.
Hope Hoops is a nasty SOB. There's only one reason he wants to be in that group. To link food and sex.The only cooking he ever talks about is what he smears on his wife in bed.This should be THE forum to watch if he's a host.example of his culinary stylehttp://upload.democraticunderground.com/10185860
His posts read like a pig wrote them.Wanna bet he looks like one ?
I don't know, but that was funny. What crossed my mind was that Monty Python sketch where the Ladies' Dramatic Society re-enanct historical battles on the field, bashing each other with their purses, knocking each other over into the mud.
