What is happening here?!

[Ismene]

I've been asked to make this post and to point out a couple of facts:

Rooks did not start this thread nor did he ask Cos to; In fact Rooks was happy to take the punishment for what he had done.

There was no contention on the punishment for the Olsen twin pics etc only on the fact that he was blamed for posting inappropriate remarks using the "Shieldsy" account.

Much has been made by some of the facts - and by that i do not mean the mods - I refer directly to diceman who clearly believes from his recent posts that he knows more than those involved. I also call into question the logic that links recent events and Rook's ban - to be quite frank you seem to talk a lot of tosh on matters you are not privy to. I did try to advise you of this personally - and yet you continue in your public efforts.

The fact is - that plenty of posts on this thread state certain things as "facts" which are actually incorrect -For example - the "faeces" photo. If in doubt ask the mods to confirm that Rooks was not responsible for it: I'm sure if asked they will and yet he is the one being blamed publicly for said material.

Furthermore, Rooks was happy to serve his time for admittedly a stupid high jinx moment, however - how many of you would serve a punishment for something you didn't do without appealing the decision?

Rooks appreciates the efforts of the moderating team - especially those who are reviewing the evidence. In all honesty he'd prefer this thread died a death as whilst the rumblings and conspiracies continue, it detracts from the truth.

They are big prats of the community, and thus represent the community to an extent.

Thought this was a bit harsh Greg since you don't know them too well and also tarring us all with the same brush (to some extent) tsk tsk !

I think he is being VERY generous considering recent developments.

LOL. gw sir.

I am locking the thread having deleted the last two pages of it

Leaving aside the issue of the recent bans, which has been discussed a lot on the thread matters moved on to slanging matches about a difficult issue that emerged briefly on the forum today.

The mods are in a no win position on this one, well at least until their collective brainpower whirrs into action, and for the time being would rather things got sorted out off-forum between those invloved, it not actually being a blonde Poker matter per se. This view might change, don't know yet


Happy to answer any questions privately, but for the time being things need to cool off please
