Michael I consider this a serious breach in trust and the relationship we had with the staff of GPWA and yourself. Had we been consulted prior to this I would have asked that you not involve us in this. I would certainly never had done this to you. Discussing Private Meetings is a serious breach of privacy and business decorum and was not funny or amusing. Your subsequent condescending post to Alex over at GPWA was crass and unprofessional and inflamatory. While I thought this might have been done in jest the more I examine the post and that thread the more I am lead to believe this was a malicious and calculated act. You also could have damaged a publicly traded company by your actions and that is also unacceptable. I am going to close this thread and ask that you contact me personally when you are back stateside so we can discuss this directly. I hope that conversation is held in confidence.
In the mean time we are suspending the staff of GPWA (not its affiliate members) from access here at CAP and PAP, at our events, gatherings and parties and in our publications.
Hopefully we can work this out as professionals when you get back and mend some of these fences you steam rolled today.
