He was a tyrant on the forums who censored people and prevented freedom of speech. However, I’m glad he is getting better and doing something good with his life. Good luck.

[...] Cross the line in the forums and you?ll probably face KiwiNZ as a result. On one hand, he?s the forum strongman ? more than likely he?s the one who?ll press the button that bans you ? but on the other hand, he?s a father of three and an experienced IT manager. An Ubuntu user since its inception, and a forum member since the earliest days of its existence, KiwiNZ is the last administrator left to be interviewed.

I’ve never had the pleasure of running into KiwiNZ in the forums. Of course that in part is good, I’m still there. So now I know who issues the Burnt Beans.

There is nothing wrong with “putting the hammer down”, that’s what keeps the forums what they are. Thanks for that, Mike.

I hope to hear some day that you are cycling again. Good luck with your fight to get out of the chair.

[...] Franchissez la ligne blanche sur les forums et vous verrez sûrement arriver KiwiNZ. D’un côté, c’est l’un des hommes forts du forum. Il est plus que probable que ce soit lui qui appuie sur le bouton qui vous bannira. Mais de l’autre, c’est le père de trois enfants et un manager informatique expérimenté. Utilisateur d’Ubuntu de la première heure, et membre du forum depuis les tous premiers jours de son existence, KiwiNZ était le dernier administrateur qu’il restait à rencontrer.
