Petition to remove longweekend as moderator
Nov 2^nd, 2011 at 3:26pm

I put forward a petition which I will forward to freediver to have lonweekend removed as a mod on this forum.
I am over his lies and manipulation and now it is the last staw after he has threatened to ban me and called me a liar after I mentioned in a thread Piers Akerman was a sexual assaulter. Here is my evidence I am not lying.
Akerman has had charges of sexual harassment levelled against him by employees. Five former employees, three of whom agreed to be named, said they witnessed Mr Akerman sexually harass female members of his staff.[2][3] A group of female staff at The Sunday Herald met and agreed to protect each other in the office from Akerman's advances.[2][3]

[edit] AssaultOne of the most controversial episodes in Akerman's life was his alleged threat to assault the literary editor of The Advertiser, Shirley Stott Despoja.[2][3] The dispute ended before a full bench of the Supreme Court where the newspaper appealed against Stott Despoja's successful worker's compensation claim for stress-related sickleave pay. Stott Despoja alleged: "I was physically threatened by the editor while alone with him in an office in a dispute over my work." The appeal by The Advertiser was dismissed and Stott Despoja won her $4000 claim.[2][3]

I vote yes to remove longweekend.

Why did the advertiser lose its appeal and why did the supreme court award her damages?

I meant the sexual harrassment,
The other one was almost a given, claiming 'stress related sickleave' is pretty much a sure-fire winner....

I don't, actually...
I don't even read his columns....
But making an accusation like that is nearly as bad as Derryn Hinch's thing about naming child molesters before it's been proven in court (which is illegal btw) and on about the same level as what you complain that Friyay does, which I also don't support....

It takes a while for a global moderator to find the middle road and L/W hasn't been doing the job that long, but he certainly needs to stop calling members' names. If he wants the standard of posting in this place to improve - he needs to lead by example.

A global moderator should practise what he preaches - or at least try to.

Sorry, Skipp but I also do not seek Longy's removal as a Mod.

As you know, I have had cause to request that he back-off and demonstrate more fairness and consistency - sans personal abuse.

However, should he not make a better effort to moderate his moderation style, then I might return to change my position.

Oh, and I don't want Skipp, or any other genuine political animals, to be driven off here eitherer!

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!
