Hopefully @Kumar22 agrees with this me on this attempt to help these fellow youngsters out.

Sorry I disagree. There is no identification made available, If any, the user has himself on many occasions given details of his exploits and places of visit which could and would render his identity known as he fails to realise that many people read edmw and can put 2 and 2 together.
Moreover the info contained stems entirely from a thread he started in this forum.
It's like saying, you want publicity but cannot accept if it's not positive.

The thread is not an expsoe on him, neither is it an attempt to flame him or stir things up. Rather it's a timely warning that whatever you posted here can and will be looked at if external agencies get involved.

Think my point is more towards giving him a chance and helping him out here.. I think infractions and bans already do their work, and there's not much need to include references to give a "timely warning" tbh.

Being called out in EDMW before, I know first hand that it is not a pleasant experience and often snowballs into arguments in a thread. You might not have any negative intent, but that does not apply to everyone else posting in that thread. Historically HWZ has always leaned towards the side of not calling out particular users, and I hope you and/or the admins and mods can consider my original suggestion and request.
