Thank you DrAchoo. Sorry for the language folks. I don't like to be pushed and on another forum at that.

I reported the suck my balls post to the moderators there, but they are asleep. I thought I'd try and get the attention since repeated PMs didn't seem to do it.

I have to come out of lurker mode on this one and say that what you posted on the FM site was wrong. In poor taste doesn't even come close to quantifying it.

I knew that you sometimes come off as somewhat controversial on this site but I still respected you, your knowledge, your willingness to help others with your knowledge and experience, and I respected you as a person of class. But what I just read over there has seriously caused me to lose respect for you and to question my own judgement.

Nothing you say about trying to wake up sleeping moderators can justify your posts. I couldn't imagine you posting something like that here, but then again, I couldn't have imagined you (of all people) posting that anywhere but a XXX chat room.

and that one post that yak is talking about is a perfect example of the digital tattoo, to be permanently associated with an individual, never to be removed. thanks, prof, for adding to my collection of things to teach my kids not to do!

Prof fate has left the building!

"Sorry, this account is no longer active" is what I saw when I just went to take a look at his profile.

I was curious to see if he had returned to his typical, helpful posts since the flare up yesterday. I was hoping that he had cooled down and that everything was going back to normal.

It's sad that what started out as something that he felt he was doing as a service grew so out of control and resulted in his leaving this site.

To be honest, I feel like it was all under control until Prof_Fate himself took it to the next level. DrAchoo was okay with other people using his photo (under this given circumstance) and the Prof was unable to accept this and got more and more upset with each post. The crude FM post was just the grand finale. I think it was nice and thoughtful of him to try to seek out the original photographer, but it should have been left at that. If he's okay with how it's being used, so be it. No harm, no foul.

ditto, brian. it might be that his last contribution is an example of how not to behave on the internet.
