With thanks to the relevant Team Kodi member, who has repeatedly made it clear my contributions here are nothing but an annoyance, please delete my account ASAP.
I appreciate it is generally preferred to make accounts 'inactive' or just ask the user never to log on again, but as this account is linked to my personal e-mail address (and, given the vitriol I have endured, I have no intention of ever accessing it again), I would prefer it is permanently deleted or, if that is not possible, marked as PERMANANTLY inactive (as in, ALL personal details deleted from your databases, and unable to be re-activated).
Thanks to the positive Team Kodi members (the vast majority), and the innumerable positive Kodi users, for your use and support of my various scripts over the past year or two. And I wish this project nothing but success in the future, as much as it has been made clear my continued usage of it by certain Team Kodi members is actively discouraged.

Although I can remove an account, I am really really wondering what happened here because you say a team member was involved.
Unfledged, would you mind talking to me through PM or email ?
I was not associated with wathever happened and I promise I am a good listener.
I have the feeling something happened outside of the forum, maybe through PM which really got you upset and I would like to get to the bottom of it because of two reasons:
- I would really hate to see a contributing member of the community go.
- I would like to know so we can avoid something like this happening again from within the Team.
If afterwards you still want to leave I'll (obviously) honour your request.
Please contact me.

After discussing this privately I have removed the account personal detais, keeping the posts and such because they contain valuable information.

Hitcher, believe me many team members are shocked by this.
We still don't really understand what happened, mainly because he didn't want to go into detail about it.
In the end I had to respect his wishes and deleted his personal user details.
He was gracious enough to let us keep the posts, some of which contain valuable data on the addons he wrote.
I'm hoping at one point he will reconsider and come back. I know some others that did not like all the fuss the forum can bring are happily developing off-forum without all the user interaction which they then let someone else handle for them.

For the record, Unfledged and I were having a disagreement or discussion or what have you that got somewhat heated shortly before his decision to go. While he says that disagreement was not the cause, I nonetheless feel at minimum partially responsible for his decision. While I can't change what he decided, it does act as an important reminder that I need to remember to think before responding heatedly to something I either don't understand or don't agree with. I know people like to make jokes about how I rarely get mad, but I do occasionally, and this is a situation where it may have resulted in a totally unintended consequence.

That was big of you to step up and take responsibility. Any one of us has the capability to lose our patience/temper. I sincerely hope that your admission does not result in a situation that may cause any negative reactions to you.
