I think you’ve misdirected this response. It was a different post that prompted the retraction.

If I am interpreting the post correctly, the original text of it listed Aspenglow’s real name. They asked to have that removed from the post. So “Aspenglow” is not the name that was retracted.

Now that you mention it, you are probably right.
