News Lions Board Spill - update: Board Dispute Resolved

[James North]

Please produce this proxy form that contained your membership number. If you look carefully, you might see it contains mine not anyone else's.

Great, so somebody can complete the form handing off your vote(s) to someone else?

 

[Henry Pinskier]

I think it's time for the mods to remove this fool from Bigfooty as well as delete any links to his proxy form to prevent any further confusion.

I urge everybody to report spam email here: http://www.acma.gov.au/Citizen/Stay-protected/My-online-world/Spam/reporting-spam-i-acma

The following penalties could apply he is found in breach of the spam act:

The ACMA can take any of the following actions for breaches of the Act:

• Issue a formal warning.
• Accept an enforceable undertaking from a person or company—these undertakings usually contain a formal commitment to comply with specific requirements of the Act. A failure to abide by an undertaking can lead to the ACMA applying for an order in the Federal Court.
• Issue infringement notices.
• Seek an injunction from the Federal Court to stop a person sending spam.
• Prosecute a person in the Federal Court.
  
  We stood up for the EGM, now it's time to stand up for our privacy.

I always enjoy a bush lawyer.

Spam involves commercial messages - selling steak knives etc - not communicating about elections, including footy club elections. Please look it up before pontificating further.

What about when they Tweeted this afternoon urging proxies be sent to Paul Williams, I think that might be considered evidence.

Answered at length on our magnificent Restore the Lions' Pride website.

I must have missed that. All I saw was this tweet, warning people to be sure who they were giving their proxy to:



And then their retweet of Leigh Matthews, who was also ensuring that people were aware of any possible imposters, and that if they supported him and wanted him in the board, they should then send the proxy to Paul Williams:



I would interpret that as information dissemination, rather than advocating. Wouldn't you say?

What about that mailing list, Henry. The one where you could separate out the Victorian supporters? Where did that come from?

 

[Henry Pinskier]

If they forged my signature I suppose they could. I don't think a Lions supporter would do that but in any event I'll be attending the EGM not proxying.

No I'd interpret that as a group which pretended to be independent promoting an incumbent director who moved the motion to sack Vossy and then voted to turf him out into the street. That's how I'd interpret it.

You're right, I don't think a Lions supporter would forge anything.

You forgot to mention that you want to be "Moving Forward"

The same source, location data principally from Twitter, FB, I believe. This is not rocket science and is sometimes inexact but we did the best we could.

What about the second tweet from Leigh himself?

you support Leigh but you "won't support" Leigh?

 

[Henry Pinskier]

Weird...mine wasn't on the form.

Of course it wasn't, just another example of a nasty Lion's Roar bully going postal on this board. They are really lowering the standard of debate.

Those Tweets contain no location data.

All I did was Google, and these were the articles that came up. I did not write them of course, but they are publicly available still, via the power of Google.

He has significant experience in the world of politics and voting.

Just in case you missed it...

I think you're critical thinking skills need some work.

People's emails that they use for Lions membership are not found on Facebook or Twitter, Henry.

Peace,

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.

Henry likes to use the words 'incumbents' and 'directors'.

To anyone's knowledge, has he ever specifically mentioned 'Angus Johnson' or 'the Chairman' in his plan for dislodgement?

 

[Henry Pinskier]

What about the second tweet from Leigh himself?

you support Leigh but you "won't support" Leigh?

I strongly support Leigh but as you long discussed here prior to my arrival (I've been a long-time lurker on this site and feel I know many of you well enough to offer you a referral to a shrink) defending the Williams/Power bloc is a very uncomfortable idea for many - if not most - members and supporters.

That's why I'll be voting for Leigh Matthews and not for the Williams/Power bloc, members want Leigh Matthews on the board and a real Fresh Start with fresh faces from the membership and Club legend ranks.

The board needs to stop making headlines, get out of the way, and support the Football Department in winning Premierships. Nothing else will do. That's why Restore the Lions' Pride got involved to ensure that happens and to ensure Williams/Power don't ride on Leigh Matthews' coat-tails.

Yes many times. And I do so now again: Bye bye Chairman Angus. Time to leave the island.

Anybody?

(I've been a long-time lurker on this site and feel I know many of you well enough to offer you a referral to a shrink)

This really hurts my feelings

 

[Henry Pinskier]

"Pinskier could not be contacted for comment"

Well there's a surprise.

Keep the pressure on on all fronts. Back Leigh, give him all the support we can and keep feeding him and his team info, every time Pinskier surfaces make sure Leigh knows.

I do have a lot to do in the day I'm afraid but I always have time for the sportsfans on BigFooty, at least for those who haven't emerged as stooges for the Williams/Power bloc. You know who you are.

 

[Henry Pinskier]

You certainly have bullying issues but nothing years of therapy couldn't address.

Again, as many highlighted in this thread over n over, those two are mutually exclusive.

you get Leigh only with Williams/Power. Leigh himself made it clear - all you are doing is running an interference campaign and people are seeing you for who you are.

 

[Henry Pinskier]

Is that all you've got? You know we're an hour ahead down here.

Every vote counts, that's all that keeps you up at this time of the day.

I like to have fun.

Is that all you've got? You know we're an hour ahead down here.

Coming here purely for a fight is against the forum rules. Did you come here to provoke? I thought you wanted support.
