A few days ago I showed up at the some kind of forum where the audio-teenagers drooled about the Altec products and toped each other on thier shoulders with Altec tattoos. You may familiarize yourself with the context of the thread and with the progress of THE audio-argumentation.

In a few days after I initiated the thread I decided that I prefer to be banned from THAT forums.
Here is my one before last replyes to the owner of the forum.

Subject: RE: WARNING FROM THE OWNER/MODERATOR OF THE ALTEC USER'S BOARD
Relax! You did not send me any privet emails. You sent an official warring as an administrator of this forum to the register member of this forum. I did not see in your email any privet context and I do feel very comfortable that I made it publicly available. At the personal level, looking at your sick reaction of a teenager on its power trip, I find that you did go far from the Morons you bread at your forum. I sure and hope that along with banning me you will remove all my posts from your forum.

What could be easer? Get rid of me and my data - nope, not so simple! Instend the moderatos sends me email informing me:
“I will edit out your inappropriate comments, but will leave the rest, as they did serve to enlighten and enhance the overall audio experience of the Altec User's Board.”
After that, I certainly sent the idiot-moderator to f-u-c-k himself along with his board members and declared him as an officially dead waste, however his next actions were truly remarkable. The guy was going over my posts and added to my original text the “***” signs (Note: he did not replace the alluringly bad words but he just added his own), claming:
“Truthfully, I did NOT want to ban Romy. …I do NOT allow profanity on my board. Fortunately, the "nawty word filter" pulls them out, but you know what is going on when you see a word bleeped out. Romy's posts became more vulgar and vitriolic even after I tried to reason with him.”
This is so pathetic that even become funny. Dose this idiot really take himself so serious that he need to do so? Dose he really feels that he is entitled to edit my posts or to use me as his publicity gamble? What a dirty scam!
The Press Secretary C.J. Cregg from the ‘West Wing” was thousand times correct teaching Josh Lyman:
CJ: The Federal Page from the Washington Post just called Carol to confirm that you are the Josh Lyman who posted on an Internet website that the White House could order a GAO review of anything it wants.
Josh: Without threatening the separation of powers is what I was saying.
CJ: You posted on a website?
Josh: . . .C.J., it a crazy place. It's got this dictatorial leader. . .
CJ: What did you go there for in the first place?
Josh: It's called LemonLyman.com.
CJ: Let me explain something to you, this is sort of my field. The people on these sites: they're the cast of 'One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest.' . . . I'm telling you to open the ward room window and climb on out before they give you a pre-frontal lobotomy and I have to smother you with a pillow. . . . I'm assigning an intern from the press office to that website. They're going to check it every night before they go home. If they discover you've been there, I'm going to shove a motherboard so far up your ass --- What?
Josh: Well --- technically, I outrank you.
CJ: "So far up your ass!" she says raising her voice ominously.
Josh: Okay.
Actually the Josh’s previous convention with his secretary about the intent freaks is quite indicative as well:
Donna: Are you sure you want to sign-off like that?
Josh: It's playful.
Donna: Okay.
Josh: You could get more in the spirit of this, you know.
Donna: The people.
Josh: Yes.
Donna: What Josh doesn't know is that some of these people haven't taken there medication. Let's watch what happens now.
(In a few hours when he was misquoted and ridiculed)
Josh: Something weird has happened here. They don't seem to be taking my response in the spirit in which it was intended.
Donna: Yeah.
Josh: Seems to be a very unusual social structure. For instance, there is leader who seems to pride herself on her organizational skills and a certain amount of discipline.
Donna: Right. That's what's called a control freak.
Josh: [getting visibly upset] Well, she does seem to do an awful lot of scolding. "You've posted in the wrong place. Stay on topic people. Don't use capital letters. I don't have time to tell you twice," when clearly, she does have time to tell us twice. But that's not the problem.
Donna: No
