Vic has deleted every thread discussing the Tavern Mod vote.
Why do you think Vic is 'hellbent' on protecting Agnes, Monk? Why is he moving to keep the facts (and you KNOW them to be facts) from the voting Members?
I'll bet that if you were a candidate in that election, you'd be screaming from the roof tops, yes?
Monk??
And the hero of the day has posted where he has banned me from posting:
Quote:Thanks (I think). It is unfortunate when threads are started to discuss issues and are taken down by fools. I fully acknowledge that people should be able to discuss things in open forum and - if it is important to them - ask questions.
And yet, when they are asked...especially of a candidate who seems to have Vic do her bidding on demand......Vic intervenes and ensures the answers are not given.
Quote:However, belligerent, childish and churlish attacks on other members cannot be tolerated,
So, now...asking questions about the truth, questions ignored by the relevant candidate who has lots to hide, have become "belligerent, childish and churlish attacks." Rubbish, Vic. All Agnes had to do was answer what was asked and it would have been done and dusted. Instead she ducked, evaded, bullshitted and then, when the sharks were getting closer, she gave you your orders to delete the Thread. You clicked your heels, saluyed, tugged your forelock and did her bidding.
Quote:.......especially the inane ramblings of an old man who should know better, and is doing a good job of grasping at straws.
Now the truth morphs into the "inane ramblings of an old man who should know better etc."
Quote:One can only wonder what the Brigadier would say!
The same as any Brigadier would say about your interference in an election to favour one candidate. You'd go straight to the 'brig!'
Quote:Dragging things up from the past,
Gee, fancy doing that in an election. Who'd a thunk such a thing could be relevant! I wonder if in the Navy one's record (dragging things up from the past) was never considered when a promotion was on foot, ey?
Quote:accusations,
No. They were questions based on facts.
Quote:snobbery
Cute. "Snobbery." Huh?
Quote:and pleadings from the Bar
You may have had one experience with a real Court Room (you told us all about it, and invited me to meet you in Brisbane...remember...cods got all pissed off about it...I declined your invitation and ever since you have had a soft on for me) when you were involved in some sort of compensation claim being sorted out in Brisbane, but that is nowhere near enough to qualify you to identify what truly is a 'pleading from the Bar.'
Quote:are a little overkill for what is the high honour of being a Moderator in a Member Run Board on OzPol. One can only imagine the palpitations, sweating and expulsion of bodily fluids if it were a GM election - perish the thought
If you are going to hold elections, then expect there to be campaigning of all sorts of quality. As Jones said ~ maybe it is better that Mods of MRB are just appointed by FD....especially given you feel so upset that you have to personally protect one of the candidates and disadvantage the other candidates and abuse anyone who dares to front your own little pet.
If Agnes wins, your conduct and doings at her demand will define her Modship and attract all the ongoing criticism it thereby deserves. Heck, Agnes has enough from the past and present to deal with without now you have adding another cross for her to bear, but I guess in your defence.....she did demand it of you and you loyally obliged.
