The future came pretty quickly after that.
I didn't really sell him on anything. The whole "Druff won't start something again" thing was in his head. We literally never discussed it, aside from my (true) statement that I was stressed out with the whole thing and was likely taking at least a 6 month break from being part of any forums or radio shows.
But there was never any kind of a agreement, promise, or implied promise that he would never face future competition from me.
He knew that at the time. Even when he had Martha go over the separation contract with a fine tooth comb (and attempt to add various elements which were unfavorable to my side), there was NEVER anything added regarding a non-compete clause or waiting periods. And believe me, there would have been if we had agreed to anything like this.
I can't speak for Micon, but he I'm guessing he felt this was unnecessary, because he honestly felt that I had been a detriment to NWP/DD and the entire community, and that nobody except for a few scrubs would ever follow me over to a new forum. He really thought that things were going to blow up huge once I was gone.
When this didn't happen, and in fact things degraded in my absence, it opened the door for me to start a new site of my own and see if anyone had an interest in coming here.
Unlike boris, I did not start this site with the intention to replace DD. In fact, even I was surprised at how fast it dried up and died once PFA got going.
