The man apologised for a misunderstanding in which he referred to he and his fellow councillors as 'knobheads'. If you're literate you'll notice the difference between 'We gave it 6 days! Knobheads!' and 'We gave it 6 days knobheads!' You say you want to know what we think? Well I think you're a knobhead sir. And if you don't want to know what people think, then don't post this kind of scurrilous defamatory crap on Youtube.

@Mycrofilms / John: If you will notice Malcolm made the comment at 2am Tue morning, He waited four hours after the meeting to post the knobhead comment? If you are tired and emotional why go on facebook at 2am in the morning to post publicly.

He could of apologised on Tue, But waited until Wed / Thur. He censored his own facebook page to delete any critical comments and only keep the pro-malcolm comments. He did apologise once pressure mounted, & posted he would not be running again.

Malcolm has deleted all negative threads off his facebook page , instead of apologising!!

[Mycrofilms]

The point I am making is that he did not call 'the people who voted for him' knobheads as you say. His comment was misconstrued. He apologised unreservedly for it. On Wednesday night at the Rhythm and Roots festival launch he told the crowd that he had held off on his apology until Thursday when he would be on KCLR and was afforded the most public platform.

He isn't the only councillor on Facebook who deletes negative material and doing so is no excuse for sensationalising inaccuracies here.
