Sounds like you're already thrashing a lot of issues out - privately.

Please answer these questions. Are you and the other would-be "moderators" conducting discussions behind closed doors? If so, why are you keeping such discussions secret? What don't you want people to know? Do you have one or more hidden agendas (like, say, ooh, I don't know, wanting the new group because you want to censor certain opinions...I can see why you wouldn't want to admit that in public)?

I know you'll answer this post, since you've made it so clear with your heavy sarcasm that you're not being evasive in any way (although you seem to be trying to evade the difficult questions being asked in the first place by conducting extensive private discussions).
