Bump!
In order to not repeat myself:
The trouble is the OP screwed the pooch, and hasn't made amends or taken responsibility. For that alone I think the red-tag is justified.
I don't think LoyceV has seen any reason to remove the tag, and your lack of accountability would only encourage me to keep it there if I were in his place. You still haven't admitted that what you did was wrong, nor have you acknowledged that you did it, which can be clearly seen by all.
Be a man, admit your mistake, then move on with your life. You can still participate constructively in this forum with the red-tag in place. Maybe someday LoyceV will consider removing it, but I would hold my breath while waiting if I were you.
