Although Katherine you made it worse for yourself by saying that your Look North contacts had practically confirmed it. Without this info the thread would have fizzled out by about Page 2

Sitting here with a VERY relieved, smug grin at the moment! ****-stirrers of the forum take note.... 
I have received an e-mail from Paul Hudson just now, which totally scotches the falsehood of a certain malicious bonehead on here that has caused me a lot of un-necessary anxiety, panic and depression I felt when I read the totally UNTRUE story about Paul moving to the Granada Media Group. His e-mail reads thus. God, I'm enjoying this.....
Now then, I presume that the perpetrator of this would now like to apologise? Remember this: with my connections to Look North, I can EASILY check the authenticity of ANY rumour you put out. I can check, AND I ALWAYS DO. It is therefore pointless and futile to try and wind me up on here. So in the future, don't even try it.
Now then, what was it I said about bans if the story was found to be false, hmm?

Hi Katherine,
I dont mind you saying that you have received an e-mail from me this morning saying the rumour is a load of rubbish and I dont know where it has come from. Take it from me I'm going nowhere. It's total garbage.

That is YOUR problem to deal with, not other members of this forum.
It's obsessional and frankly inexcusable- anxiety, panic and depression because a weatherman is leaving?
Get a grip woman.

I believe Katherine has Asperger's Syndrome, which means that something like this - that she takes a strong interest in - is a pretty huge deal for her. Obviously not everyone was aware of this; one would hope that people would be slightly more tolerant of her obsessive behaviour in this light.

Katherine you are being TOTALLY out of order.
Personally I am fed up of you demanding bans like this forum is your own little playground. You've seen off several members who I liked and I'll be damned if I sit back and watch you do it again.
This place is here for all of us - not just you. There have been dozens of half-truths published here, as well as wild speculation and general silliness in the space of four years. It happens. Get over it.
I'm sorry Kat, but it is not our fault or our responsibility that your medical condition makes you, frankly, obsessive-compulsive. I am sympathetic to your dificulties but that shouldn't affect other peoples posting rights.
Its worth noting that it is precisely *because* of your predictable responses that some people get a kick out of winding you up from time to time.
If you don't agree with me then fine; I really don't care. I would rather you don't Private Message me regarding this and keep your replies within this topic.

if thats not censorship i dont know what is. people are posting in good faith about a subject, and yet what people can say is being censored incase it upsets a certain member.

It means Katherine has called the shots and had tvmercia banned from contributing.
Its outrageous. She banned less people when she *was* a moderator.

YAY!!! I want Katherine back as a moderator. They were happy times. 
Maybe members should have problems they have under their username, I already have one disability listed (Moderator ) but I think others could be listed such as "Transmitter Obsessive" and "No gay jew Paul Hudson talk please"
It would be like a forum medical bracelet.

I've been following the going-ons in this forum for quite a long time now without commenting on it. But I will do so now:
In the past weeks there have been some visitors on this forum who have started a kind of discussion which doesn't belong here. Especially some members who are making posts à la "I don't care about graphics, as long as Natasha is presenting I'm happy" and so on. I think you know what I mean.
I really think that a few members of this forum should really ask themselves if this is the right place for the kind of discussion they like. If simple rumours cause you "anxiety, panic and depression" then you should post in a forum discussing mental illness or write to the agony aunt of your local newspaper but please, please don't ruin serious threads that are aimed to discuss television presention with your pointless posts.
Don't get me wrong Katherine, I don't know you in person, and I don't know all the others posting on TV Forum. But we do have Metropol for personal problems and there are lots of nonsense forums on the internet where you can discuss the wardrobe of Natasha Kaplinski or whoever but please don't ruin TV Home Forum and please
THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!
Thank you.
