Well, that's a shock!

I think your reign as BERC was controversial, certainly, but I supported your decisions (aside from the small mathematical error in round three). I voted for you originally and it is a real shock to me that you are resigning so soon. This will be the longest article on the website for sure.

Because Neil criticised him for his endless polling...

I think "criticise" is too harsh a verb to use there.

I've described him as "acting" because I expect some sort of announcement from him whether he wishes to remain BERC or seek election. Any acting leader has all the powers of a normal leader.

I can't believe that such CHAOS has been caused, on a R15 day, of all days. Are you trying to undermine the competitors Scrivin? ARE YOU?

Despite voting tangy, I enjoyed your reign as berc. I am saddened by this decision. I think it would have been better to see it out to R6, but it appears the decision has been made. Thank you for all the duties you carried out while BERC.

This bizarre tube world is so much more controversial though...

Just trying to keep some perspective. This is a website devoted to the somewhat questionable activity of running around a public transport system. Somebody who helped organise such an activity has "resigned" his position. You're all going on as if the Queen just abdicated.

I think I'm the only sane person here sometimes ... :roll:

I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with being referred to as "tube royalty".
