It started in this thread:
http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-cayman-parts-sale-wanted/77114-wtb-2003-engine-intake-vents.html

He (BYProvider) felt like the first two posted replies were "rudely irrelevant", as he stated in another thread he started, asking the mods to remove them.

And then I antagonized him. I did. The part of me that always says "sometimes mean is still funny" came out. and I forgot that my kids always remind me "yeah Dad, and sometimes funny is still mean".

I've since made an effort through PM's to be somewhat conciliatory, and he has confirmed there that his issues with me go far beyond that thread. Which seems obvious. I don't know what the issues are, but I absolutely believe him that I've offended him... especially since he started poking at me.

I think we should let this sleeping dog lie. Or this dead horse rot, or whatever. It serves nobody and nothing to "get to the bottom of it".

I pledge to be really super-careful whenever BYProvider is posting, so as not to step on his hoo-hah. He has valuable knowledge that serves this forum, but so what... even if he didn't, this should remain a fun place for him to be.
Wow. I don't see what you did to provoke post #7, but it sure went off the rails fast!

Hey, BYP: A suggestion from an impartial observer here. If Maytag apologized, accept it and move on. Heck, at least you got an apology. I've clashed with Maytag and Starter, among others, and never got any apologies and I let it go! Actually I did get an apology from one member. Either way, I'm still cool with them all. I don't know if they're all cool with me, though. haha!

Just a suggestion.

I'm staying out of this now.

Hey Fiddledog, care to share your popcorn?
