The owner and I have come to some sort of 'understanding' in respect to the "old" forum- I am no longer banned as a result of pointing out the slippery slope going on of people being able to criticize me and/or my business but not being given an adequate mechanism to respond.

I am not totally clear on what the 'understanding' is or isn't- only that I am no longer banned from the other forum and as such, have no iron in the fire to continue on with past disagreements.

This forum will not be disappearing or otherwise be changed- but as a peace offering I won't continue to discourage interaction between the two.
