Here’s a letter that I sent to a fair few people in the Union today, which I will record here for prosperity. Now, if you’re reading this, then a) I probably sent you the email anyway and b) you’d have been able to guess what I was going to say by reading the last few entries.

As far as I’m concerned, I want this to be the end of the matter. There’s plenty of other people though, who I don’t think will let it go quite so easily. Urban Exploration types have even picked up on it (30th November – notice how I strained to link to that site using those two words!). Anyway, here’s the letter:

Dear All,

Over the past few days, I’ve been considering what course of action to
take with regards to the DramSoc Chemicals Saga, and more specifically,
whether to appeal against the result of the Disciplinary held against me
last Tuesday.

It was judged that I knew of the Exec decision forbidding me from
removing the chemicals, and I have been fined and reprimanded for my
actions. I strongly dispute this verdict, since neither I, nor anyone I
talked to about the matter, knew of this decision prior to the chemicals
being removed. I was found to have done wrong, with neither any evidence
nor motive offered, which I believe is unfair.

But to be honest, I’m sick of this matter. It has really got me, and
those closest to me, quite depressed over the last fortnight. It seems
plain to me, and many others around me, that I have done no wrong, and
that actions of the ICU President must be closely scrutinised. But I’m
not going to appeal; I’m not going to bring the matter up at Council;
I’m not going to make a complaint about a prejudicial Felix article; I’m
not going investigate the many allegations of misconduct by the ICU
President of which I have been informed. These things should be done,
but I’m unwilling to prolong my misery, or waste any more of my time.

So have your twenty pounds; I hope it does someone some good.

Andy Allan.
