Since their behaviour falls within the terms of the site, you're removing all of your content in an effort to get other users pissed off at their behaviour. Frankly, some of us were pissed off at their behaviour to start with, and you're not advancing your own flag by requesting this. You're putting the mods in a no-win position (they either abuse your "rights" or remove a lot of information other users may find useful). I would ask you look at the bigger picture: RC is a for-profit entity based upon ad-generated revenue. I believe my content to be a major draw for the site and as I do not appreciate how this was handled by management I have decided to remove my posts and thereby deny the for-profit entity the ability to continue making money off of my work. Yes, this puts the mods in a no-win position but frankly I can't honestly say its one I created. No need to rehash the reasons for this, so moving on...
I think it's laughable that you think so highly of your contributions that you actually believe their removal will have any financial impact on this website. Additionally, it's about time you took some responsibility for your own actions instead of playing the victim/martyr card once more. This is a situation that you are solely responsible for creating.

And on a side note, I find this whole issue regarding ownership of content and fair use rather interesting. Its far from being a black and white issue in general...
If you would have stopped right there on this point, I would agree with you.
