As long as we're wandering off topic...
Complaints or comments about the moderation of the forums can be addressed as a separate issue by either messaging the admins ( Arno would be a good choice as would scruffyduck ), or by starting a new thread in General Chat.
Refraining from name calling in these new threads is a good rule-of-thumb, as is exhibiting tolerance for different differences in age, sexual orientation, ethnicity or nationality....
"Piling on" a poster that has displayed poor judgement only makes the 'piler' susceptible to censure or discipline. Better to report a post. Reports are reviewed and discussed daily by admins and moderators.
We are an international forum that encourages exploration and dissemination of techniques of Microsoft Flight Simulator development. By necessity, we use tolerance, as we are both a very diverse group, and a very passionate group. If we weren't passionate about FS development, we'd leave these forums pretty quickly.
People do make mistakes. Sometimes people do really stupid things. I've done incedibly stupid things. This forum has adopted a policy to be quick to forgive, rather than quickly banning posters for their errors. By private contact, these errors are dealt with. 99.9% of the members here are well-behaved and understand the purpose of this forum is to explore and learn about FS development, and to keep the discussion on topic.
With that, I'll lock the thread. The original poster is currently banned, and the original topic has been pretty much beaten to death. toprob's links above cover what was needed.
