I'm not interested in hitting the ignore button and wondering what derogatory slams that Tony might be posting about me and my songs in other threads that I am not even seeing.

In my personal opinion...Tony's writings indicate that he has some pathology. For that, I am sympathetic. But other sites have rules and don't let such abuses go on regardless of the root cause. You have rules and have told Tony not to break them. Yet he does, and you allow it.

I'm not mad about that, but I am ready to stop being part of it. Therefore, if you are going to allow Tony to stay and do this, I sincerely request that you delete my account. I know that there are years of posts and so forth that will disappear, but I am fine with all of them being deleted. I interact on other sites where my posts are part of an overall background, largely invisible and I am never attacked. At this stage in my life, I prefer that.

One possible benefit to your site is that there are and have been people here who believe that part of the site's problems exist because of my disruptive and defective personality. Your writings occasionally indicate that you are one. With me gone, it may convince some reluctant people that the atmosphere has changed here and to engage again.

Once I am deleted here, there will be no hard feelings from me. I hope that your site succeeds in adjusting to the new AI environment and I wish you well in all ways.

Sincerely,
Martin Lide
