my lips now have to be sealed, page-23

RB,

You were the one who used the term "sacked". In your post #8833953 on 29th November you said "Those guys were sacked and will put on a smiley face tomorrow. I will be in the front row - will the dead wood be there?"

I assume by "sacked" you meant terminated, fired or otherwise told that their services were not required. That would be opposed to resigned, which would have been at their own decision.

Given you used the term, what did you mean by it? And do you stick by your statement that they were sacked? If you do, all you need to say is "Yes, they were sacked!" if you are sure of it. If not so sure you could say "I did believe they were sacked but now I am not so sure." If you can't make any statement of the like to back yourself then, we'll have to accept that your original statement was 100% incorrect and was baseless when it was made.

And were you sitting at the AGM in the front row?
