Eric,
Last week you posted this on the
JLC Forums:
actually told them to go F themselves in a long email that was very articulate after they never even called or emailed me a thank you, after the Festool House Party. That was the busiest thread of the year on FOG and all 10,000 members knew about it. It just rubbed me the wrong way. I heard through the grapevine that everyone in the upper levels got a copy of the email. Whatever, I've done more for them then they have done for me. I'm a walking advertisement for things I like.
BTW there will be a House Party 2013, but Festool won't be involved. stay tuned....Eric
I replied and said that wasn't the case at all and that I had thanked you several times before and after the event via PM, which I still have. I also offered to see if we could support a future event even more the following year.
Then you sent me an PM over the weekend offering to buy me a drink at the show, apologizing and saying that you have nothing but love and respect for me while you have issues with Festool. Well, I'm part of Festool and I know my colleagues well enough to know none of them have treated you poorly.
You seemed to avoid me at the Connect event and again at JLC, which is fine. If you expected me to come by and shake your hand after you "told Festool to go..." (see above) then that was unrealistic expectations. Had you said hello, I would have treated you just like any other guest at our event, in a friendly manner.
You posted this last night, as was already stated, that Festool was "so welcoming":

Great to see everybody, especially getting to hang with those from the infancy of the FOG and all of the Festool employees. They were so welcoming, Eric
Now you say you were treated poorly. At no point has anyone kept you from speaking your mind here nor have you been chastised.
Make up your mind.
If you have a problem with me, then say so. If you have a problem with Seth or Peter, say so. If you have an issue with someone else or multiple people at Festool, send me a message describing the situation. But do it through PM, because we won't tolerate you attempting to stir things up here on the forum.
The thread will be locked. If you want your account deleted, just let me know. If you want to stay, that's fine too but please follow our forum guidelines and don't create conflict or drama.
Shane
PS - Eric later asked that his account be deleted and that was done per his request.
