All, at ethic's request (multiple... after my attempts to try and stop him), I have removed all posts and topics created by ethic. He is at a juncture in his life where he wants to forget who he was and erase that identity. I have deleted his content and his account. There may have been posts by others that got caught up in the purge (in topics he started), and for that I apologize. Ultimately it is his data and he said he will create a new account to post under.
I wish him the absolute best and I'm sorry it came to this.
