I have written to the editor in charge of The Seminal at Fire Dog Lake, informing them of the moderator abuse and asking that my diary, and in fact all previous work, be pulled immediately. I do not know if this request will be honored, as they claim, in an About Us page clause that is not in the TOS agreed to by new users when they sign up, that they have the right to publish all work in perpetuity.

At any rate, I think I can close that chapter on my life without regrets. If they choose to pilfer my intellectual property to allow a petulant administrator with delusions of grandeur to poke fun at me for a few more days, it’s no great loss.
