Some issues - plural - which involve Kev have come to light this week, & already appear to be circulating in the domain.
I was fully of informed them on Sunday & Monday, in both cases by Tighty. He came to Luton last Sunday especially to make me aware of what was going off, having told me whilst I was in Vegas that some matters needed urgent attention, but would best be dealt with, one to one, upon my return. I understand Tighty was made aware via a variety of sources.
Since then, considerable time & energy has been spent dealing with them, & putting some things right. I also wanted time to reflect fully on the matters before taking any further action.
We are not dealing with gossip, rumour, or hearsay here. We are dealing with cold hard facts, all of them proofed in writing.
Yesterday, in Swansea, Tighty & myself spoke to Flushy, who, as the majority shareholder here, was entitled to be consulted. He agreed with the view of Tighty & myself that, no matter how awkward the timing, & possibly regrettable, these matters need addressing.
I have just spoken to Kev personally, which, believe me, was not an easy call to make. I suggested to him that he should take a break from blonde, & I outlined why. He was not exactly thrilled with my line, but he agreed.
I have now spoken to Tighty, & Kev's Modship, & Membership of blonde, have both been removed.
It's not our intention or wish to divulge further details, though that may change. It would not be in anyone's best interest to press us further on this, & I hope you will take note of that.
I take full responsibility for the final decisions, although Tighty, Flushy & myself are all 100% in agreement on this.
Other actions, involving others, may or may not follow, as the matters develop.
Although it's been very difficult to handle, in my heart of hearts, I am absolutely certain that the actions taken were 100% necessary, & appropriate, despite the extremely awkward timing. Much as I flinched at the thought, I'm afraid that the nettle had to be grasped.
Kev has spent more time on blonde than anyone, & been an unpaid Mod for almost all of it, for which I am very grateful. He's also been a good mate to me & many others. I'm also fully aware that he is going through difficult times right now. I hope he gets everything in his life back in order very soon, I really do. For now, he will have to manage without blonde, & us without him.
A sad day, I'm afraid.
i have been troubled by this post most of the day, the reason being i couldnt put my finger on what was wrong with it - but knew something was.
TK - i dont know you, but having now read the above enough times i could read it aloud backwards, id just like to say it was a very poor attempt at conveying whatever point you were trying to. It just doesn't strike me as being impartial nor particularly fair to Kev - almost irrespective of what he has {allegedly} done (which I dont know in full).
I have amended it to what you could/should have written. The rest of it was fairly superfluous tbh, and as far as I am concerned made the whole piece come across as insincere and biased - but again and cant put my finger on what it is - although that is probably in part because i dont know what or who it involves
