Look out, I am armed and dangerous!

I really can't believe that the clowns at the South Waikato District Council are still at it -- but they are.

As regular readers will know, I was trespassed from the Council building earlier this year for the heinous crime of daring to stand quietly at the back of the room and record a public meeting in full compliance with that council's own Standing Orders (section 12.4 which states that "The public may record public meetings").

After mayor "adjourned" the meeting, only to claim later that the meeting had never started -- which begs the question "how did he manage to adjourn it?", I received the trespass notice and the justification was that my actions were "disruptive".

Remember that I didn't utter a single word, didn't obstruct anyone, didn't incite any person in any way and was 100 percent passive for the entire few minutes that this farce took to play out.

Well yesterday, seemingly aware of how ludicrous this justification appears, the CE of the SWDC, Ms Susan Law (not a lawyer as defined by the Act but claims to be one), decided to change the reason for that trespass and the new justification is even crazier than the first.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
