Not much we can do right now, we have not heard from the admins yet.

If I had the power, he'd be nuked by now...

I've tossed my hat into the volunteer moderator circle several times and will continue to do so, if you want a daily visitor moderator/janitor who's membership goes back over 20 years with audiokarma I'm available. Trash will be taken out daily if needed.

Site is running on autopilot, mod(s) comatose from apoxia.

I see.

This is getting tiring. No doubt there are some among us with the skill to track this person down and make their "life" digitally miserable.

My idiocy has gone on way too long and I sincerely apologize to all. I will create a new post in the News section to fully explain...

[Yamamaya42]

To me, nothing about this tiresome Tarzan garbage makes any sense whatsoever, it's like 6 x 9 = 42, the answers given just doesn't fit right with the questions, or explanations given.

The best way you can apologize to the forum is by deleting your poor taste posts and grow up.

I searched but could not find a way to delete a post - please let me know if there is a way and I absolutely will delete every one of them.

The best I could figure to do is edit all posts to "Post not Helpful". I also changed all titles to "Please Ignore" but the post still display the original titles in the threads list. If anyone know how to change that, again, I'm glad to do it.

I would be glad to pay for an admin's time to delete the posts - I'm truly sorry and want to make it right but don't know what else I can do at this time.

How about an honest explanation as to WHY the bad taste posts were made. You made the first move disrespecting the forum so I believe you owe the explanation, we're all human and do stupid things... I've done my share and then some but they all come with a responsibility and this is where the truth comes out.

The explanation I gave in the thread "An Explanation but not an Excuse" thread here in the Site News forum is 100% true. That's not to say there aren't other factors that played into my "snap" but - everyone here is dealing with their own unique challenges and issues - mine are no more than anyone else's and absolutely no excuse.

The short of it is, I emailed and prvt messaged requests to delete my account but after 2 months of no response, I made a childish attempt to get my account deleted. On every forum I can think of, when someone posted crap, they got banned - and that's what I thought would happen quickly to me. It was stupid, it was childish and it's embarrassing - and I wish like anything I could make it right and clean it up. I've never done this before an will never again.

I've emailed the admin to explain and ask how I can clean this up and make it right and hope to hear from him soon. That's not meant to be a dig at the admin - I now understand he's juggling multiple sites and has more than a full plate.

I'm truly sorry guys - I'm also embarrassed and feel like an idiot.

So why did you want your account deleted? Just sitting inactive is really no different as far as the world is concerned and on the flip side of that hanging around and maybe picking up some knowledge isn't such a bad thing. I've been working with this stuff for nearly 50 years and yet I still pick up some morsel most every day, there are times when I do have something to share that helps someone with their A-HA! moment so as I see it this is a win-win all around.

I also get the "snap" thing in life and have been "on the wagon" now for over 20 years, addictions suck so doing my old tech projects keeps me centered in life.

Right now the site is a little understaffed so we do what we can to keep the lights on and it all comes down to respect. You're welcome to join in the conversations but please do keep things respectful and at least Rated-PG for the next generations that might be checking out the forums with their elders, nothing more difficult for a parent or grandparent than having something Rated-R or in bad taste come up when cruising the forums with the kids in the copilot seat.
