Yes, I suppose it probably is, given that Jackson has posted to thank Brooke for his "moderation" efforts and wish him well for the future (you know, basic courtesy). Of course, if Jackson instead hadn't made such a post, we could have inferred that it was for a reason like that suggested by Tom, given that it would be normal and expected for the Chief Moderator (which he is in practice) to make such a post in the circumstances.

Strange, I can't find the post concerned now. Perhaps I imagined it.
