That moderator sounds pretty good eh? I did notice that the Asst Sec was deleting comments (completely unnecessarily as well) in the chat section during the Meet The DTB meeting last night. Is there a training school that these people go to to learn how to censor and shut conversations down if they're not going exactly how they wish?

Maverick, it sounds like we have someone with common sense putting their name forward for nomination to the DTB, you certainly have my vote 👍

RP, he's 7'10" and standing 20 yards away...

OTD photo - the referee's position is very 'of its day' - I'm sure that modern refs don't get that close to the action any more.

Mav - you should drop out before (potentially) being elected, as you sound far too sensible and fair minded to be on the DTB. 😉

Hi Maverick I did see you post around Shane separately as you couldn't give your views to the initial question as the moderator had closed it down. Your comments were noted and I also saw how they were commented on by Ian Pollock aka Biggles. Well done on speaking common sense Maverick and clearly got my vote as we obviously need people with common sense on the DTB as not got any at the moment from what I'm seeing

My comment in response to a question on the proboards was that I thought what happened to Shane appears harsh and petty and that one way around it would have been to ask the other candidates if they objected to him being on the ballot. I don’t know what the result of that would have been but, if none of the other candidates had objected, then why should the Board or anyone else?

I'm naively optimistic that the latest volley from Mr B is because they may be aware that the ESG/DTB are intending to reverse their decisions and let me stand. That would open the doors to the character assassination phase.

Does the ESG still exist or have they all resigned? Not much coming from that direction currently.

The irony shouldn't be lost on Shane's manifesto was moving from absence of trust to mutual trust, fear of conflicts to having constructive debate, from lacking commitment to being accountable, dodging responsibility to taking ownership and from less self and more us. Oddly the negative traits displayed by the authoritive figures seem to be used as an outcome under the guise of the positive ones. The fact being, if they adopted the best traits on deciding his candacity, the threat of the negative ones wouldn't be an issue and it would have been done and dusted by now.

Oh and if that is how the moderator has explained it can you grab a screenshot for me please? I’ll be needing it.

Ask them for the evidence. To see the actual abuse. Tell them I’ve said it’s ok to share it.

Latest score in the DTB election voting: Martin Drake: 2. Other cancerous cunts: 4129. Shane Bellamy: -5933.14159265358979.

Are you lying, Shane Bellamy? The current moderator on Proboards said he had banned you for being abusive towards a volunteer. Is he lying?

I don’t think that getting on well with the other board members is or should be a requirement for DTB membership, but even if it is considered to be so, that should be a decision to be made by the voters not a basis for disqualification from standing

Well labour called trump all sorts and they plan to work with him😂

Here is a fourth question for Shane Bellamy. While hiding as "Trigger" you defamed Michele Little (DT treasurer) by accusing her of manipulating the Dons Trust bond scheme to her personal advantage. You also described her as Shittler. How would you expect to get on with her at DT board meetings?

Biggles complaining about people abusing others … (no comment needed)

You do what you like sir. It’s just nice to see you interacting on here rather than posting insults and running away.

Latest score in the Restricted Action votes: For: 5666.666666. Against: (Login required). Abstained: 333.3333

That’s my concern Nick. Having witnessed what I’ve witnessed I have grave concerns about the ESG being fit for purpose.

Well Shane Bellamy, I can assure you I do deal in facts. Shall I quote verbatim the foul abuse you heaped on named individuals when you thought you could hide behind a pseudonym? All the words are in the public domain.

The election isn’t “null and void” as it is still happening, but the process has undoubtedly been totally discredited by the decision to block one particular candidate on what seem to be irrelevant technicalities.

Didn't read it that way Doobs and even if I had, we cool :-)

(I didn't mean 'given' to sound arsey/sneery btw, wasn't meant that way at all! :)
