It is my content to remove and regardless of other users' sense of ownership of it it is my right to remove it. Bulk quoting of it in an attempt to prevent me from exercising this right is wholly inappropriate and I request that posts quoting my material from the point where it was made known I would be removing it (post dated Aug 12, 2010, 11:18 AM) onwards be removed and it be made clear that such behavior will not be tolerated. Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated. -aric.
Aric,
Our Terms of Service (TOS) do not grant you any "right" to remove "your content". Nor do we make any claims, grant any rights, or endeavor to enforce a third party's rights regarding ownership and copyright of content being submitted to our the site. We provide the platform, and we enforce rules to ensure orderly communication, but you are responsible for your communications and the consequences thereof.
While we do provide functionality to edit or delete submissions made from your account, we do not guarantee that you will be able to remove all traces of those submissions in future. There are just too many ways in which posted content can survive and propagate on the internet, as has been pointed out by other users in this thread - from being quoted in other users' posts to being retrieved from Google or someone's local browser cache. That's the nature of the internet. If you put something out there it's bound to live on in one way or another. Just as a letter published in your local newspaper cannot be un-published.
So if you want no traces of your submissions, you should never have posted it in the first place. Even our Forum Rules remind you that "you are responsible for your own communications and are responsible for the consequences of posting those communications". There is no way we will endeavor to regulate or police that.
This is a matter to be resolved between you and the other user.
Daniel
