Thank you so much Bluefalchion, Sansovino, Kostis and Chariobaude for your reasonable and well chosen words.
FredG you still don't get the point, do you?
My face is already in this forum when running workshops at Figz 2016 and 2017 and I have never complained about that.
Bluefalchion could not have said it better:

I don't have a problem when members of this forum know private details about me... as long as they do not write it down in this forum.
And because I feel like Benno's Figures Forum is a community.
I trust other members. I trust them in not mis-using that information.
But unfortunately a handful of members has clearly nothing else to do than day after day trying to provocate other members and turning every topic into a joke.
Mentioning Dioramica is not a mistake.
Many members have seen the many reports of that great show posted in this forum. But you were absent at that moment, FredG.
You missed it completely.
And yes, at Dioramica too, there was a lot of discussion about using the artists names.

Peter do you want me to send to you all the mails between Wolfgang and me about the spelling of my name before I agreed to join Dioramica?
Peter do you want to read all the private mails I send last year to about 12 members of this forum in an attempt to stop the use of my name that was ignited by you and Dad?
And by the way there was no N**i stuff at the dioramica show. Well there should have been a German WW2 diorama but after I dropped questions about that at Wolfgangs adress, that particular diorama turned out to be absent from the show. Coincidence? May be. Ask Wolfgang.
So FredG what is the big deal?
I think you are only provocating for the sake of provocating.
You are only discussing for the sake of trying to 'win' a discussion.
Apart from that you have pretty less to offer this forum.
Chariobaude says it as he was reading my mind:
Chariobaude wrote:I wish i could see more threads on actual members works than their blabla,
FredG why don't you post some high quality work of your hand in this forum so we can all enjoy that, in stead of trying to turn many an interesting and serious topic down into silly and often negative jokery?
Finally I like to say I joined this forum after Benno himself invited me.
He invited me to show my best work.
He invited me to give workshops at Figz 2016 and 2017.
I did that on a non profit basis, investing some of my own budget and time to support Dad and Benno and Martin in this.
It was my delight to do all of that.
And I hope there will be a Figz 2018 for me too.
