That is one scary ad.
Scares me shitless.

Thank you sincerely.

Again, this post is written as a member, NOT as a Moderator
I put that so that no-one has to feel they have to hold back on their comments for fear of upsetting the Moderators, thereby not taking advantage of my position. I have no reason to hide behind it.
First issue I will deal with will be the time line. The posts that Postie was kicking off about were dated 4th September, less than 4 weeks ago. During the course of that week, this was discussed at length amongst the moderators. To the point that on the 9th September, I asked the Moderator who Postie informed of the names, to ask Postie for the evidence to back up his post. I never received a reply and so I PM’d Postie directly for the information on 15th September. He replied the same day to say he didn’t have time to check for links and stuff. “Will try to later if I can find He also gave me the link to Wishy’s thread. On the 17th, he twice told me personally he would find the posts for me. I never heard from him again until I PM’d him on Sunday 25th to see if he had found the relevant posts as I didn’t want it dragging on. Each time I have given him time to find the information and he was not rushed to do so. The reply on the 25th told me he wasn’t going to supply the information requested. Unlike some, I consider what I post and give thought to it. The length of time this took to come to this position was because I was allowing others the time to do likewise.
However, it seems that a lot has been linked to this discussion which is absolutely nothing to do with it, so hopefully this little story may clarify what it was, and still is, all about.
Wishy is driving along in his car (Makes his Chameleons thread).
He is overtaken by 2 ladies. (Pololadies’ post)
Postie sees this overtaking manoeuvre (posting) and isn’t happy. Wishy doesn’t seem too bothered by it but does ask advice (to a mod, but the answer was actually from me, Wishy) and responds accordingly.
Postie decides that he would find a large group of people (The Steam Room) and tell everyone that he knows some people who have murdered many people (his original rant about them).
Everyone is shocked that this could occur and many shake their head in disbelief and all start wondering who could have done this (including the two accused!).
Then someone (me) asks that if these murders (posts) had taken place, where were the bodies (evidence of such posts) ?
Eventually, after some cajoling, Postie says actually they just overtook Wishy (posted on his thread) and he (Postie) wasn’t happy about it. However, the bodies (Nasty posts) are out there but he can’t be bothered looking for them.
So what you’re saying is, that you don’t like someone’s overtaking (posts in Wishys thread), so you accuse them of mass murder (multiple nasty posts)? Doesn’t quite work, does it? However, if he had said initially that he wasn’t happy about the overtaking (posts in Wishys thread) and that was all, then no-one would have been bothered about the lack of bodies (nasty posts).
Now THAT is all this is about. Nothing about the Leicester Munch, nothing about ANY munch, nothing about Libra, nothing about rumours, nothing about tricking someone into getting themselves banned – just pure facts. The fact that Postie said something which couldn’t be substantiated.
I have said all along, and the other mods can confirm this, that I was dealing in facts, not rumour.
FACT. Postie posted his rant. No argument there. We all saw it and it isn’t denied.
FACT. The posts he was referring to didn’t exist, except the posts in Wishy’s thread.
FACT. He has already agreed that he meant those posts.
I’m not on a witch hunt for Postie. He’s entitled to his opinion like everyone else. But I’m also entitled, as a Moderator or a member as you are as well, to ask for verification on something you believe needs clarifying. It was done by PM. I was lead to believe the answer would be forthcoming, which didn’t happen. Yes, I forced it into the public glare, because the original post, was made in public. If I hadn’t, would other people look at it and think it’s ok to post something so venomous without having to justify it? (I know the original was deleted, but I’m talking about ANY posts of that ilk). If Postie comes back with the posts that match what he said are out there, I am more than happy to hold my hands up and say ‘Postie, you’re right and I’m wrong and I apologise'. I’ve only ever asked for the evidence, that’s all.
What sort of principles do you want on this Site? Do you want someone to stand up and be counted, to find out the truth or do you want someone who allows these types of posts to be left unquestioned? To not want to ‘rock the boat’, to feel under pressure not to ask the question?
If you make such posts, stand up and be counted and defend yourself with hard facts.
I stood up to be counted on a principle – that no-one should be openly attacked where there is nothing substantiated. If I’m proved wrong, fine. I’ll apologise.
We can all make mistakes.

A case in point regarding mods and being a member, I think the other issues are being well dug over anyway so I shall refrain from adding more fuel...
Yes you can be both, but as a mod you have privileged info by being in the mods lounge. You cannot forget all that when you post as a member, and members will always see the word 'Moderator' first...
It is life, Mark will always be the 'Black Darlek' and what he says will always carry more weight. As moderators you have the same blessing, and curse. Don't be surprised that us mere normal members see you as moderators first.
