Mr.Glesser is actively doing the Forum rounds and posts frequently. Not exactly difficult to contact him and he is very approachable. Was the "4 kinds of hell" really necessary?
Takes some broad shoulders to admit when we're wrong and apologize. I respect that. Sometimes, it takes even broader shoulders to 'forgive and forget.'
If you find yourself doing these things frequently, I would suggest you're doing it wrong to begin with. If these instances are rare, I'd say you are a firm-but-fair kinda fella and likely expect the same treatment from others. You were frustrated by your Spyderco CS experience and went offside. Sal made things right but admonished you for the poor treatment of his employees. I suspect you would do the same to defend your own staff on the receiving end of an irate customer.
Anyway, I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Time for everyone to forgive and forget or move on, imo. For you, for Spyderco, for our fellow BF members.
With respect,
