It doesn't look like Mr Cadan ap Tomos wishes to be a part of "LOM" anymore. I would like to thank Mr Cadan ap Tomos for serving as a pertinent and timely reminder that, as a general rule, children and adolescents lack the maturity, sound judgement, life experience and respect for others necessary to function effectively as moderators of a forum whose members are mostly adults - and so are properly excluded from that role at this forum. Now that he's voluntarily removed himself from the equation, I am able to provide some context to Mr ap Tomos' strange behaviour, for the benefit of those unfamiliar with his history: Mr Cadan ap Tomos is a precocious, egocentric 14 year-old Welsh brat with a penchant for sternly lecturing his interlocutors from the boundless font of his profound ignorance, in a manner that's not entirely dissimilar to that of a dyspeptic, constipated mid-19th century Presbyterian minister delivering a sermon on the evils of Popish mediterranean cuisine, having only minutes before learned that his wife has run off to have a lesbian affair. With a goat. In Invercargill. New Zealand. Mr ap Tomos' temperament might charitably be described as "prim, snippy, churlish and insolent" in polite horsey company - and "petulant, boorish, histrionic and asinine" by just about everyone else. And it is. Mr ap Tomos is an administrator of a largely defunct micronation forum now frequented by a handful of children and teens, which apparently views itself as some sort of "competitor" to this forum. Mr ap Tomos registered an account here with the specific intention of trolling this forum, and he unsuccessfully attempted to engineer instances of conflict and disruption here on 2 separate occasions. Those occasions represent his entire contribution to this forum. Despite this, he was always treated with civility, politeness and graciousness, given the benefit of the doubt, and offered a clean slate. His response to this - as we can all see - was to throw a tantrum and run home to mother when nobody paid any attention. Our sense of desolation at losing him is... well... entirely non-existent

I apologize for the pointless bickering among former Tchairians which has nearly deflowered a so-far unflamed forum. No apology is necessary; indeed, the problem needed to be dealt with, and you did so with a degree of exemplary maturity that others would do well to take note of... so kudos to you!

It doesn't look like Mr Cadan ap Tomos wishes to be a part of "LOM" anymore. I would like to thank Mr Cadan ap Tomos […snip….] Mr ap Tomos is an administrator of a largely defunct micronation forum now frequented by a handful of children and teens, which apparently views itself as some sort of "competitor" to this forum. Ahem Not all members of that heretofore specifically unnamed forum are children, although sometimes, this One wishes that the “clock” of my life might be turned backwards… to once again try to succeed at the projects of my life (but these are only wishes). Unfortunately, the tendency of some of that forum’s members have been less than adult, others have been helpful to TorHavn, supportive of the goals of serious micronational projects, and have become good friends. Fortunately, TorHavn generally knows which are which. As always, if someone knows of a situation where this is not the case (and this fact is unknown to Us), We would be more than happy to know of this, but only by private email, or PM. In the meantime, We will continue to peruse pertinent topics on this and other forums, for education, newsworthy subject matter, and even to be suitably entertained. We thank you, the owner of this forum, for your contributions to this forum (monumental as they are), and for your kind advice to the Dual Monarchs of the Viridian Realm.

I'm aware that a number of adults continue to visit and occasionally contribute to the forum in question out of a sense of duty, however most of the remaining active membership are children and the place is (mis)managed by children. I'm told that much of the current "discussion" there consists of abusive rants about me - which sort of says it all, really.
