He wasn't able to put in his 2 bob's worth while Collo and Smorgon were there, but now the clamps are off. There never was any attempt by you to substantiate your claim about what "the record" showed. Maybe you could do so now. After all, you've shown that you can do a bit of research when it suits your purposes.
This is, as Jarusa says, the tip of the iceberg. I don't have time now, but I'll go back over "the record" to show how opinionated (and not objective) you are regarding Pagan. And in your inimitable style, your opinion is usually delivered with a healthy dose of sarcasm and arrogance which sits so well on a serving moderator.
But it seems that I have a special place in your heart, BV. Maybe because I called you on your sweeping statement in the above thread. Seems that even if I post something which is even-handed as I did in this thread, I have to wait for the stinging rebuke from you, in your objective mode of course.
And it seems to be a bit odd that you suggest PMs to resolve differences. I PMd you during the above thread to try to smooth things over, but it's had absolutely no effect whatsoever. So that's not something I'll bother to do again.
Sorry that this thread has become horribly hijacked. Again, I point out that my post was even-handed and seeking some reasonable discussion. But it seems that isn't possible.
I apologise Mav, I did recieve your pm and i replied as well.
But that doesnt mean I have to agree with everything you write.
Yes I am opinionated but who isnt?
It appears my role and behaviour as a moderator is an issue with Jars and yourself. If I have acted inappropriately as a moderator, I'm more than willing to stand down. Just let the other mods know your concerns.
As for the "substantiation" of my claim, I will give you the details.
My company was a sponsor of the Carlton Football club a couple of years ago. I attended several sponsors meetings during 04/05 and 06 including a sponsors function at Telstra Dome somewhere around late 05.
There were about a dozen of us in attendance. Ian Collins MC'ed the meeting and gave us some details about the club and where it was heading, what their drafting plans were and what they had planned for the club.
Collo told us that he had told Pagan that the list was "stuffed" at the end of 02 and it needed to be rebuilt. Pagan told the board that he believed carlton were a finals side and if they could assemble a list of ready made players, his game style would enable us to play finals football.
Collo told Pagan that he didnt share the same faith in the list but they would back him whatever he decided.
I didnt post this earlier as I dont like my relationship with CFC becoming public knowledge on TC however obviously you couldnt let this go.
I'm happy for you to go back over my posts. Yes I can be sarcastic, yes I can bearrogant. So be it. Most of my posts about Pagan are generally given with reasons and stats. I rarely get personal or rude.
As I said, if you find my behaviour as a mod inappropriate, just pm Camelboy, I'll happily step aside.
