    His political views chime with yours as well.

    I have said for a long time we should not have such matters on here, but even when they stray into football at times, @lardiman cant help himself.

    There you go again.

    Having a dig at @ElfsborgAddick as well.

    Who asked / told you to do this ?

    Who voted for you ?

    You are not qualified or frankly clued up enough to be behaving like this, and yet you carry on riling people & play the victim when asked to stop.

    There are posters on here (not me or Elfs) better suited to Moderate it, and get it back to being a football only forum.

    You would honestly be better off @lardiman either on Facebook, or some sort of Flat Earthers, tin foil hats messsage board.

    Just please …not on here …casting moral judgements on posters who know more than you.

    I won’t comment again. I’ve made my point.

    If I thought the post was racist I would have called it out. As I hate racism. But I didn’t think it was.

    I'm glad your previous post was not intended as a threat.

    In my judgment the posts made regarding Miles Leaburn were racist in nature.
    Before acting on that judgment I had asked three times for the point of the posts to be explained to me, so I could understand should there be a non-racist motivation that I had failed to grasp.
    My questions were ignored.

    I have long known that you think I am not a suitable person to moderate this forum.
    For the record, I accepted the position after you left Not606 Charlton when you were the moderator.
    Personally I don't care what you think of me.

    If I read or see something posted by anybody which in my judgment crosses the line, and my requests for clarification are ignored, I will moderate as the situation requires.

    It's too late to try to explain now. I've made the decision and I'm not going to reverse it.
    I asked for clarification yesterday on the Paul Elliott thread and it was not given.

    Nobody gave you these powers , or asked you to have these value judgments, or voted for you.

    I genuinely question your levels of self awareness. When a number of members in a small forum like ours ask you to change your ways or stand aside, and yet you just plough on, regardless. I think you struggle to relate to people.

    I’ll leave it there now , as I’m sure you will be setting off for the game soon with your ST.

    That is a bit heavy handed.

    You did, in effect. When as 'the Sheriff' you walked out on Not606 Charlton about 4 years ago when you were the moderator.
    After you left I was asked to step in.

    I'm sorry you think that.
    But when a situation arises that I believe may require moderating action, I am not going to play games.

    I asked for those posts to be explained to me, so I could understand if there was a motivation for them that I had not understood.
    They were not explained.
    So I locked the thread.

    Online spats are sh1t. We've just lost a valued member of the allotment committee through one. A very minor issue which got magnified out of all proportion.

    My thoughts are that Leaburn's connections to Jamaica are as strong as mine are to Wales, which is somewhere in my family tree in the past 100 years.

    I still stand by my comments on Elliott.

    However, @lardiman is a nice man, @Royston Hawtrey is as well, and is misunderstood. I have no comment to make on @Smudger603

    In the event of a change in leadership I vote for Pubes.

    It really is very straightforward.

    Nobody asked you or gave you permission to

    1. Judge other’s posts by your personal values,
    2. Move posts between threads.

    Nobody voted for you to be Mod on here. There are plenty of valid reasons in fact why you shouldn’t be, but if you insist on hanging on please can you at least respect others views and desist from points 1&2 in future. Thank you.
