Seriously - who are you and what are you babbling about? If I've parsed your mangled English correctly, then you seem to be under the impression that I got an account of yours deleted. My memory isn't perfect, but it is very good and of the very tiny handful of people I can remember reporting to Flickr, none of them were from either New York or Mexico, and none of them butchered English in the same way you did, so I'm fairly sure that none of them were you.
But, looking at your photostream, I find a number of images that clearly aren't safe for work set to "safe." I'm guessing that you did the same in your previous account, a Yahoo employee saw your photostream and he deleted your account. Check the community guidelines - they are empowered to do that, which is one of the reasons why I've been warning users to not do what I can see you've done in your current photostream and apparently did in your previous one. Rather than act like an adult and take responsibility for your own foolish choices, you've decided to blame me for the consequences of your own screw up, for reasons I don't know and am not really sure I want to know.
"I hope somebody give you what you deserve"
You've posted a threatening message directed against the admin of a group in his own group, so I think I'm standing on firm ground when I say that your judgment is so lacking as to be non-existent, and that your mouth probably did a lot to get you into the trouble in which you found yourself.
Checking your contributions to the pool, I find that you've submitted a number of images which aren't safe, and as I've explained in this very discussion, could have gotten this group deleted. Between that and the rant above, you're gone. Goodbye, and please seek therapy."
and then in deepening annoyance as I learned who this was. I had forgotten this individual, which was reasonable, because what I would have remembered him for really wasn't very memorable.
"I think I've found out who this was. On this image, in which nudity is very clearly visible, I wrote (oh horrors of horrors)
"But I wish you had shared it in the 18+ companion group for Photoshop Vandalized Photos, because by posting it to this group, you've run the risk of getting us in trouble both with Flickr and with Twitter. I'll invite this photo to the companion group, but in the future, please respect policy in this. Remember, the admins don't work for Flickr, and we don't get any say in what company policy is going to be. We just have to deal with it, and try to keep the group from being deleted. Yes, the company has been known to do that."
I posted the comment six months ago, on an image in the same account xrverde posted the above flame from - somebody was really off his rocker. His account was deleted, and yet he's still posting from it? I've banned him both from this group and the 18+ companion group.
He doesn't just hallucinate my involvement in something he supposedly got hurt by, he hallucinates the actual harm, itself. That's beyond my pay grade, as the saying goes."
Having posted that to the group, I then decided that the time had come to create this blog, because having content like that in the group is bad for the group. Yes, I (the admin) was being completely reasonable and the member (who hadn't even been banned from the group at the time he posted that comment, obviously) was being completely insane, but drama drives off content. I decided to delete the latest loon's remarks, and direct those who were curious about such things to this blog. Where they can enjoy this garbage, I guess.
