Vogt is claiming to others within the organization that Redmond resigned, &#8220;which is a lie,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n<p>Reached by phone, Redmond told FCJ, &#8220;At midnight last night I got a letter from Todd saying &#8216;your resignation is accepted.&#8217; But I never submitted a resignation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked why he was fired, Redmond said, &#8220;Todd and I had a significant disagreement over personnel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5330\" style=\"width: 209px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5330\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5330\" alt=\"Todd Vogt\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2013\/01\/ToddVogtTwitterProfilePic.jpg\" width=\"199\" height=\"237\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Todd Vogt.

In January, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/5328\/axe-falls-on-sf-weekly-editor\/\">Vogt axed SF Weekly editor Tom Walsh<\/a>.\u00a0 At the time of Walsh&#8217;s termination, Vogt <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/5328\/axe-falls-on-sf-weekly-editor\/\">heaped glowing praise<\/a> upon Redmond saying, \u201cTim Redmond is the best and most knowledgeable progressive journalist.
