Some cliffnotes of what happened, for the ones who aren't familiar with the case:
A program was sold and somehow the content was lost and there were no backups. When trying to restore the content it turns out that the seller wasn't aware that the license of the content he bought from Paul wasn't transferrable. The buyer tries to negotiate with Paul who keeps changing the asking price to more and more ridiculous figures/terms. Which is fine, he has the right to do so, it's his content. The buyer posts a warning thread for people not to do business with Paul but after a few pages of discussions he realizes that the terms of the license did in fact prevent the license to be transferred and he apologizes to Paul. The program gets sold again and Paul runs out to the boards and posts threads that the program (owners) are thieves and pirates because they have his content in the design of some sites yet they don't hold a license for it. This despite the fact that Paul was asked REPEATEDLY to provide a list of what content of his is featured there so it can be removed. Paul was asked to issue an apology for calling the new program owners thieves, since they didn't steal anything to begin with and Paul's beef should've been with the initial seller of the program who gave the content to affiliates to use for promotion, despite the license forbidding that. The one who issued the warning about Paul apologized. Paul wrongfully accused someone of stealing and refused to apologize. He will stay banned, as he never actually contributed anything to the discussions. He's welcome to issue an apology to the program owners here though.
Best of luck in your future endeavours, Paul.

Sounds like you were looking for an excuse. Hate to break it to you, but Paul is in the right this time.
