While I totally agree with you that Pat may be the nicest thing in person and probably is a nice guy 99% of the time, he broke the rules enough to get Wayne and several moderators (not to mention quite a few list members) perturbed at him. He likes to post things that can be very "interesting" to say the least and many times it ends up being a fur-ball.
The thread where this all transpired has been removed from the BBS the last time I looked but, when I read it there was no doubt that Pat was baiting Noah and anyone else who would raise to the occasion. When someone baits another person (especially a Moderator) and the other person responds, then I find it difficult to call it "instigating a confrontation" but we are all different people and see things in different ways.
Glad you guys had a good time and if I lived closer I would have loved to joined and would have engaged Pat in debate over a adult beverage. Those steaks sure looked good but dammit someone needs to teach Pat that cooking with charcoal is the only way to do a BBQ IMHO!

Joe,
This is an internet forum, not a democracy. The rules are the rules, if someone broke them they should be banned. I agree 100% with you.
Noah has a way of baiting people into arguments much in the same way Pat does. Pat responded in an ill manner because obviously Noah pushed the right button on him. End of story.
Your final comment is what it is all about, I am sure if I met Noah, Mul or anyone else on PP it would be fun. Its fun to meet different people. I have not met a Pelican yet that was not cool and fun to be around. Hell, we like the same cars and that is a great starting point.
Someone made the comment that some people are really agressive on PPOT that most likely would not be in person, Pat is a perfect example. I bet Noah is another.
But, you know what? That is what makes things so interesting, if everyone was bland there would be no excitement.
Noah, I was almost positive there was a member on here named "Eli at Pelican Parts". It seemed he was instrumental in getting Pat banned. I know Wayne did the banning, but I could swear an Eli said he did it though.
It really is pointless, as much as all of you felt the need to take a dump on this thread. Pat is still a nice guy a generous person and he is not going to disapear entirely. He has made too many friends on here for that to happen.
