This post from Rick was from a very long time ago. When someone asks (regardless of what has gone before), whether one likes them or not, to please consider their request not to use or out their real name, this request should be respected. In my case, I had to beg you, literally beg you to stop and you only stopped after Steve helped me out. Shortly after this, that email was hacked into and spam was sent to every person on my contact list. Luckily, there weren't many as it wasn't a regular email. Yahoo then flagged my account for suspicious activity. I have nuked all previous emails and rectified the hole in my network security. Yes, I take responsibility for my naivete and ignorance regarding all things *forum* when I began posting here, but my request for personal privacy should have been respected. What a hassle for everyone involved. This forum may be a free for all, but this is one policy that should be respected and Richard is the only poster currently posting that has not respected it.

Apparently many of your old friends want to get in touch with you. Why you'd object to this is beyond me, after all you are a public figure. "Curtis I met in FL when he was @ Avon Park & we became great friends with laughs there & long talks. I lost contact yrs ago. How may I reach him now by email or tel. or address . Is he married & living in what town etc. THANKS in advance, Bill Leed. People were commenting on the quality of his songs. Was there a site where you could listen to them?"

A person who really wanted to do a serious check on my POV can google my full name and find them. I am also proud of what I have written here on this forum with my POV. The problem with this place is that there are malicious people and trolls who have told lies about me in order to harm me because they didn't agree with my POV on the movement. So when people post my full name here it pushes up the google ranking so it comes up higher. So instead of of the articles I have been quoted in, the casual searcher might first find some idiotic thing you say about me. > You are not even making any sense. Whether you want to be or not you're either famous or infamous. In my opinion, if I were you, I'd be ashamed of some of the things you've posted to newsgroups and then signed with your professional stage name - I'm surprised you get any work at all - but that's just me. > So to be clear. > Let's be clear: Stop insinuating that I am a perv - don't call me Shirley - you know that my name is Richard J.Williams. Is that clear? You retract these statements and I'll never mention your name again professional, real, or otherwise. Deal? > Just because some of us have an off forum presence on the Web, and some people inadvertently or maliciously our full name in years past, > Can you spell cognitive dissonance In fact you are not supposed to be using your professional name on Yahoo Groups, that is is considered to be spamming. "Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area." - Rick Archer, FFL Rule #13 > YOU are not allowed to post my full name here without violating the policies of the site. > Maybe we should boot off Rick for breaking his own rules, but in fact you yourself posted your real name to social media. You could have used a totally annonymous alias, but for some reason you connected your stage name to your real name - maybe you wanted to remind everyone that you were working for the TMO and maybe you thought they would be interested in your stage performance - I don't know and I don't care. All I'm concerned about is your derogatory statements posted on social media in an attempt to demean me for the purpose of winning a religious debate. That was mean, rude, crude, and very unprofessional. Go figure. "I take responsibility for not being more informed about TM before I got involved.

Maybe we should take this up with the moderators - I'll abide by their ruling and would support them removing your real name from the archives, but I'm not sure how you're going to get it deleted from The New York Times and from Google Groups. Good luck with that.
