My girlfriend and I had been in disagreement about the site for a few days prior to the posts being submitted. We shared opinions about many topics discussed here, but it had always been among ourselves.
Last Friday before leaving for work, I briefly browsed the site, my email and a few other things then asked my GF if she wanted me to leave the computer on for her. She said "yes" and after saying goodbye, I went to work. After I got home from work, I was unable to log-on to the forums and got an upgrade message. This went on for several days and on Sunday evening after trying yet again to log-on, I thought it was odd that other members were still able to write reviews and realized they were able to log-on, but I couldn't. I told my GF that I was going to call the ISP the next day and that is when I heard a very disturbing confession.
The issue she and I had been in disagreement about was the thread about the nude male model advertising a male fragrance. She questioned why I would have replied to a thread like that and I showed her what I had written (I commented that I liked the nude female in the same link). She then questioned why I was even on a site with a bunch of "gay men", I tried to explain that all members were not gay (ei. myself)...this obviously wasn't good enough, so she asked some questions herself using my account.
She explained that everyone was mad about the question and that she had used the word "fag". When I heard that, I knew why I couldn't log-on. My GF said she tried to delete the thread, but couldn't and listed a number of other things she did to my profile while trying too, as well as deleting all of the email notifications I received about the thread. She said the thread was deleted about an hour after she put it on.
I tried to restore my deleted email to no avail, so I don't know what wording was in the thread or who replied to it. Today is the first time I've been able to log-on. I was able to send Grant an email (via the main page) expressing the same as I've explained to you and I guess he's letting me view the forums again. I don't know if I can post as I haven't attempted too. I will try to post, if for no other reason than to apologize.
I accept full responsibility for the threads as it is my account and I should have handled it more carefully and certainly will in the future.
I sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been offended by the threads. This will never happen again.
Now there is a disturbing thread in the Supporting members forum I must address.
