First, I haven't posted in a while, but the good news is that I was elected a city councilmember in November!
And now the bad news...
A musician I work with wrote a post attacking Topix (I happen to agree.) But, in order to "josh with him" I made a Topix post accusing him of possibly being the fictional Smurfs character Gargamel. (vicious slander, I know)
However, the guy is really upset and paranoid that people in his local community might believe me and he might lose business. So, in order to honor his wishes, I went to delete my Topix post...only to find out that you can't!
What I can do, is click "report abuse" and get the admins to delete it. If enough people do this, it will be on the fast track to deletion:
1) Go to
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/bainbridge-ga/T6BQMQP5S34PQFUH7#comments2) Click "report abuse" on the 1st and 4th posts.
3) for the reason put something like Terms of Service Violation: Personal Information without consent
You can't make this stuff up. Thanks for your help!
