"People do not believe lies because they have to, but because they want to."

First of all I want to thank all those members of susan-boyle.com who posted supportively for me on the forum recently. I appreciate it very much.
For the record, I feel I should make clear that I fought hard to find a way for all fans to move forward in peace and harmony on that forum.
On July 11th I received a PM from the two administrators of the forum in which they made me an offer of the position of Appeals Committee Chairperson. I accepted the offer the same day. My intention was to make myself available when the necessity arose, or when a problem presented itself.
Up until I received the email from the Vice Chairman, it was still my intention to carry out those duties to the best of my ability.
I knew from the outset that it would not be an easy role to fulfil, but the 'right' paths to take in this life rarely are. I would have put all my effort into it, but I am unable to do any of that, because I was fired.
This evening I heard that a moderator was assuring members that I had 'told the forum administrators recently and often in no uncertain terms' that I 'did not want the board position'.
This came as a complete and utter surprise to me! Nothing could be further from the truth. I told the forum administrators no such thing. I never once stated that I did not want the post.
Quite simply, I was fired. I hope that is clear.
