Here we go again. Can we please stop now? Even those of us that enjoy antagonising certain people are getting bored of this.
Alot of people dont like the way tomino has behaved in the past. It would be no surprise to a large number of people if tomino did behave the way described, especially with how he has been behaving after the removal.
Was the council prepare for such an eventuality? No.
Could it have been handled better by all parties? Probably, yes.
However, no system was in place to deal with a trouble member, and the council and schine acted appropriately. There is no way you can create the system for removing a council member from position with that member. They would have worked out what was happening, and gone nuts.
I see people posting that tomino was kicked out because they didn't want him in the council. Schine authorised this move. Without them, the council would have no choice but to sit and cope with him. If schine really did not want tomino in the council, they would have removed his application from the ballot before votes even opened, part of the terms and conditions are that they had that power.
No amount of threads or complaining is going to change what happened. Unfortunatly, the way tomino, and the collective MF community behaved was inappropriate, and because of it, I doubt tomino will be allowed to run for council ever again.
The simple matter of the fact is that the council and schine has released more evidence that shows tomino in a bad light, while tomino only ever posts an out of context screenshot of an email he sent to duke, while claiming to have more that he refuses to post.
You may no longer feel represented by the council, but you selected 5 people for a reason, and your vote simply got given to other people. Also, alot of people had votes cast aside simply because they voted for people that didn't get in. They're not posting because they feel misrepresented, are they?
I suggest this thread be locked, before it can be turned into another flame war. everyone's opinions on this matter are already apparent, nothing is going to change. There is no need to do this again.
