You think apoppin wants to come here to talk to you?  He's the one that banned you to begin with.  Do you not remember how badly you belittled the poor guy for having less education than you?

Only in response to Apoppin repeatedly asserting that I am "stupid" and "far beneath him in intellect". Had he not done so, I never would have mentioned it.

 Did you do the same thing to Dave as well?

Nope. When I found out what happened to Dave at work I tried to convince him in PMs to finish his degree and turn the tables on his employer. It's the same advice I give my son- as an employee your power is the combination of how difficult you are to replace and how easily you can walk. Dave's like me- older guy in young man's tech world, lots of experience. Only difference in us is I have a couple bachelor's on my resume'.

 I think that you have really offended Mark.  He is a really nice person.  At this point it looks to me as though the damage done is beyond repair.  I don't think he wants anything more to do with you, Rollo.

I think it's fair to say Apoppin and I have a history of harsh words between us.

 He's clearly upset with Dave as well.  I just don't think now is the right time.  Maybe at some point in the future but right now I don't think we will see him.  Not for at least a year or two IMO, if ABT survives that long.

Apoppin should swallow his pride, come back here and work out a deal for some sort of partnership with Dave as they need each other. I'm peripheral and a distraction- the only reason I matter here is the forum was dying and I like to talk on forums.

Dave needs content, Mark can supply it. Mark needs the site he helped build, he may well NEVER build the unknown BTR site.

This site could be profitable if Mark can control his outbursts on the forums and deal with people in a civilized manner. My guess is he'll keep sulking in the no mans land of BTR, a victim of his pride.
