I was just about to post a response to the thread about my sacking when it seems it was locked - this has never happened to me before, so I'll tread carefully. I'm hoping that the powers above are not going to delete this thread - I would hate it to look like I was being silenced.

I won't comment on the reasons for my sacking - nor will I mention names - rest assured that this post isn't meant to stir up trouble.

This post is simply a response to those who offered their support - particularly Antonius and Roopy. While your efforts to return me to moderating land were unsuccessful (I have no wish to return given the reasoning I'm being given by admin now), I do nevertheless appreciate the support.

Furthermore, without detailing the issue in question, I'd like to reiterate that I still believe my actions were both justified and appropriate. While truthfulness can damage people sometimes, as a supporter of freedom of both information and communication, I remain mystified by what has occurred - there has been a misunderstanding in the intentions and outcome of what I wrote.

Once again: I wouldn't want this thread to be locked also, or indeed deleted, so bear in mind this is just me thanking people for their support.

My confidence in democracy in public has never been stronger, but my confidence in truthfulness is waning following 'incidents' over the last 48 hours. :?

Suffice to say Original_Chook will not be returning to mod status - believe me it is much less troublesome just as a normal member.

Sorry to hear about this Chook, I havent spent much time on the Knights forum since the end of the season, so this is all new to me, ahem Tony and co if your looking for a new moderator for the Knights forum, I nominate myself up as a canditate, I tried to get a position as one on 4 corners and even though I got the most votes from the forum public I was overlooked, must be the 'chads' or something.
I spend a fair bit of time on LU and have talked to a lot of people, I get along with most of the moderators and administrators on here, and have an impeccable vocabulary, so I would be an excellent choice for the job if you pick me.

I thought it was up to the Knights administration on here who would get to be a moderator on our forum.

We do get a say, but what I am saying is, The owners of the site might think another Moderator isn't required at the moment. The only reason Chook and Myself were made Mods was because everyone was moving over from the old forum, and they (The Owners) wanted a couple of familiar faces here to welcome you all! It was actually selected on good looks hence the reason I got a start!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Antonius! I thought I made it very clear we weren't to discuss the reasons for my departure..... ;-)

As Tony has said, moderators are picked on good looks - the admin got wind of the fact I had substituted Brad Pitt's photo for mine on my application form - they were so horrified at my real photo that they sacked me. ;-) :shock:

Sounds like I should have borrowed Andy's picture - we probably wouldn't have been able to fit his head in the shot though - inflated ego, AND inflated cranium to match it seems.... ;-) ;-) :lol:

I have little clue of the old term; 'who's hot, and who's not' - I presumed Brad Pitt was attractive - I don't agree with this notion, but thought it was widely held that Brad was seen as attractive.

Maybe I should have gone with John Candy, or that guy that plays Dennis from Jurrasic Park (he's also the policeman on 3rd Rock from the Sun) - ;-)
