Hey CD, this is Ulfie. I'm trying to get my userid restored on this board so I can post more. Hate posting under different id's. Talked to Eric at the show and he said he would take care of me. Just wanted you to know who this was.
I didn't know you were banned until I talked to Adam at the show. I think you both went overboard. Physical threats weren't necessary but neither was banning you. I think if you 2 talked you could work things out. Neither one of you was very professional about it IMHO. You know I like both of you and hated seeing you banned.
Again, it's just my opinion but I think you guys could work it out. Adam's not hard to work with and neither are you. Seemed like you guys got into a testosterone fest and things got out of hand. I would hate to see you gone permanently because you always added a lot to the board.

Ulf, I appreciate your candor and taking the time to post. As you know full well, I give what I get, always have. I have never deemed it necessary to "walk on eggshells" around anyone, no matter who they think they are, and that includes those who have their dainty fingers on the ban button. These boards are for webmasters to talk, interact, share information and opinions, and yes, sometimes argue. It wasn't me who jumped on Adam calling him schoolyard names bro. Think about that.
And think about this..... If the roles were reversed, if it was ME who had control of the board and Adam was the mere member, I shouldn't have to even say it, but I will anyway..... I would not ban him just for disagreeing with me. I would not have cocked off to him like he did to me. I've been a solid money-making productive full-time webmaster working comfortably from home for nearly 5 years now, I think I deserve better than having a weasel like Adam talking to me the way he thinks he can.
And like I said in my above post, I did not directly threaten him, I merely warned him that one day he and I might meet. I also invited him to come up to Winnipeg and say the things he was saying to my face. Ulfie, if someone like Adam said the things he said to me to you, you wouldn't lie down and take it either.
Bottom line, I was banned because a mod felt like banning me.
