EB posted about me first so i do not feel there is a need to apologize. i have offered up many apologies and this is not a place where i will do so.
ill lay off of EB from now on, i honestly did not think i affected him that much and would not like to see him leave the board. i try to only have beefs with people like you have been through it. i did not intend harm only felt the need to defend myself. ill tone it down if it makes EB happy. i dont like when longtime members leave even if i do not get along with them. i can understand you sticking up for your friend i would do the same.
if you change your mind let me know.

I disagree with the patching up thing. You have already taken a few steps to do so. First by apologizing to me for your prior error in judgment and second by posting this thread to reach out to me. This says you care and that is part of patching things up. Nobody looks for equal grounds when their is animosity between them.
EB didn't start this, you did by trolling him and others in multiple threads year after year. What he did was make a comment that you should be banned because of it. That comment stemmed from your actions, not his.
I've known EB for a number of years. He and I have logged countless hours of phone calls, IM's, and 1 on 1 time. I'd say that I know him a hell of a lot better than most, if not all, others on this board. That being said...I know first hand that it takes a lot to really get under his skin. If the man pulls his ads then you have made a major impact on him. And just so you know, he has ended his business relationship with GFY over this. He's not "threatening" to stop buying ads, he has written Eric to close out the relationship.
Me thinks you owe Eric an apology too for putting him in a position to choose between members vs. customers rights..
You asked for my honest opinion in the other thread so I will you the short and sweet version here:
If you ever want to be taken seriously you need to stop being a douche, use your humor to your advantage instead of hate, and get back to being a respected member of this community. Swallowing a little pride and apologizing for how your actions affected others would go a LONG way in my book and I know for a fact that I'm not the only person who feels this way.
