Committee member forced to resign after members unfairly produce overwhelming evidence they broke the rules

A FABRICATED Players committee member has been forced to resign after members they were attempting to remove from the society unfairly discovered overwhelming evidence that they had broken the rules themselves.

Social Secretary Judith stepped down on Tuesday after being confronted with emails, messages, meeting minutes and several documents containing what the committee has described as “an unnecessarily accurate account of events”.

Judith said: “Obviously I accept that rules are rules.

“I just never imagined they would apply in this direction.”

The controversy began when Judith launched proceedings against three members she accused of breaching society rules, behaving improperly and generally being “not the sort of people we want around here”.

The three responded by reading the constitution.

Judith described this as “quite aggressive”.

Secretary Graham said: “They went through everything.

“Dates. Emails. Screenshots. Actual quotations.

“At one point somebody had highlighted the relevant paragraph of the constitution.

“There was really no need for that level of hostility.”

Unfortunately, the evidence appeared to demonstrate that Judith had repeatedly breached the same rules she was attempting to enforce against the members.

Committee colleagues initially hoped the matter could be resolved informally by explaining that Judith had only broken the rules for the right reasons.

Chairwoman Susan said: “Context is incredibly important.

“When they broke the rules, it demonstrated a worrying disregard for society procedures.

“When Judith did it, she was trying to protect the society.

“I’m surprised people can’t see the difference.”

Members then produced further evidence.

This was widely condemned.

Graham said: “Every time we explained something, they had another screenshot.

“It started to feel like they’d deliberately kept records of things that happened.”

The committee briefly considered dismissing the evidence on the grounds that there was too much of it.

However, after discovering that several documents had timestamps, witnesses and Judith’s own name at the bottom, her position became untenable.

Judith resigned later that evening.

In a statement, she said she was deeply disappointed that members had chosen to weaponise facts against a volunteer.

She said: “I gave years to this society.

“To have that thrown back in my face simply because there is clear documentary evidence of me doing the exact thing I accused somebody else of is extremely upsetting.”

The three members originally facing removal will now remain in the society after the allegations against them quietly disappeared.

Susan insisted this should not be interpreted as vindication.

She said: “Nobody has won here.

“Except, technically, the people with all the evidence.”

The committee has promised to learn lessons from the incident.

Future disciplinary proceedings will therefore begin by checking whether the person bringing them has left a massive paper trail.
