So after going "postal" it's okay to say you're sorry and everything's alright again?
Is that like going to confession in the Catholic Church? 
Cliff, you certainly know best, but if I was running the show I tell the guy to come back and re-apply for membership in a couple of years after he's matured a bit and had plenty of time to think about his infantile threat.

Making physical threats is a Criminal Offense in most jurisdictions. Many is the man who has apologized at the time of sentencing.
Cliff made a point of having a rating system and the members vote to ban a person. So, Cliff is absolutely right to respect the decision of the group he put in charge of banning, namely US.
If a guy gets himself banned it is not the end of the world as we know it. It is, in fact, self inflicted punishment. We know the rules and if we all respect the rules we are all winners and have a nice forum for our favourite hobby.

For once Patrick and I are in complete agreement... Threatening to knock someone's teeth out isn't something you get to be absolved of just by saying "Sorry, I was mad". No sh** you were mad, but you still shouldn't have said it!

(still no idea why he was mad at me though). |

I lot of people who joined way after the rating system was implemented don't realize how it works--still. They aren't familar with a forum where the members do the rating and banning I guess, tho I am pretty sure it's explained somewhere here in one of the posting rules sections.
But, it WAS certainly explained to him in the widebody thread he ressurected.

Of course not. I was pretty mad myself when I read his apology mail and I was about to let him know what he could do with his apology. But, as one matures, one can restrain oneself more easily. 
But to be honest, it's nothing new for me to receive all kinds of threats from banned members.
