*Posted on FlyTyingForum by my supportive friend Neville:* *I am posting this on behalf of Niclas Runarsson, whose access to this forum was removed unfairly. Niclas lives in Söderhamn, Sweden which is 9 hours different than my local time in Vancouver, BC. By the way, I am not a bait fisherman but a long time fly fisherman.*
*============================* *First: "Tup's Indespensable" is a friend of mine who I told this to. He was just trying to help me to get my access to the forum back and should not be frowned upon for that.* *From my side, this has never been complaining about anything. I just politely asked(!) admin to remove it. The picture is hardly the pride of my website, but since I saw that the account owner himself already had asked for the same thing, I didn't think it would be a problem. I just expected an "Aha... we must have missed that back then".* *I did read the FTF rules before I asked and they clearly state: "You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or this bulletin board." - So the material was owned by me but posted by someone else... the account owner had already asked for the same thing. Why would I feel uncomfortable with at least asking for it to be removed myself?* *The only reason that my own request took me more than one message was that the admin didn't seem to understand what I meant, so I just tried to clarify what I thought I was failing to explain. If he simply had said "NO" (or just ignored my message), everything would have ended right there. But obviously I tried too hard to explain (maybe I'm a bad explainer) and I got deactivated. Maybe he thought it was all about complaining. But the only thing I was doing was trying to clarify what I thought I'd been unclear about.* *I never wished to complain or disrupt anything (which was also why I contacted the admin by PM). I've been an FTF member since 2008 and have never misbehaved on this forum. My only wish now is to get activated again so I can continue to use the forum... with or without the photo still in the database.* *What I can't understand, is why my request was more offensive than that of Mickalo who also asked for the picture to be removed as he did not post it. Only one of us had their access removed from the list.* */Niclas Runarsson* On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 4:21 PM, Niclas (Gmail) <[email protected]> wrote: > I had expected more from a forum like that.
