Okay, I've been banned from the blogs - while I am prepared to take this like a man I thought I'd point out exactly what I was banned for.

On Harry Pearson's thread (http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/01/26/get_the_autograph_signing_righ.html ) there was a lot of off-topic chatter. This mildly annoyed me, so I posted this:

(to the tune of I need a Hero)

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the mods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a seani there to type on fiery keys?
Late at night I read this dross and I dream of what I need

I need a mod now
I'm holding out for at moderator in the midst of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And his copy has gotta be tight

It needs a mod now
I'm holding out for a mod 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta drink larger and lime
Larger and lime

Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Aaahhh
Aaahhh

Somewhere after midnight
In the sports blogs that I dream
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone moderating me

Cutting out all the banter and deleting flames for their heat
It's gonna take a supermod not one who's too discrete

I need a mod now
I'm holding out for at moderator in the midst of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And his copy has gotta be tight

When the Richard Williams blogs
And the Pearson and the Hattenstone
That's when the clique comes out you see and makes the blogs their own
But I think I feel it now
I could swear there's someone watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood

I need a mod now
I'm holding out for at moderator in the midst of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And his copy has gotta be tight
It's got to be tight…

Ebren, it is still to soon to evaluate the consequences of a gentle rebellion. As an occasional visitor of the blog I can only speak for myself, but the atmosphere changed since geengrass, Offside ang yourself left for exile.
There Is a voice behind the power who managed to shut you off, this voice sounds like a chilly buzz, leaving us with a deep feeling of desillusions. The absurdity of the statement made by the man in charge had galvanized my intention to stand on the right side and this is why I am posting here with my full real name.G.anthome aka guitougoal.

Ebren - you've got your own blog. Well done! I sometimes think GU is like a school playground. We love to see how far we can go and the teachers will only tolerate this if we're laughing with and not at them. Have you got a new identity yet?

Hey tony,

The MOAB has been promised for weeks - but Sean has been a bit tight lipped on when exactly.

Hopefully Friday afternoon when we all have the time to contribute.

I have created Nerbe as a new identity - but as that is about as hard to crack as a soft-boiled egg I am reserving it for MOAB and linking to this.

ebren - 'Hopefully Friday afternoon when we all have the time to contribute.' Ah what an assumption.. I shall be slaving away, effectively, until Saturday afternoon. If you naughty boys manage to refrain from getting it closed, I'll join you shortly before kick-off time...

All the best
