Ulan WAS a good guy. He got angry with the way things were being run by AA and decided to become beligerant. I was there, I spoke with him before, during and after. Most of his troll like behavior was an attempt to get a reaction out of AA (who, by the way, went completely silent and left us all wondering "what the hell"). He just did things in a NON-productive way.
Tim "Picard" B. is a great guy who I think is an excellent person in general. He was the object of most of the troll activity, because he was the "eyes & ears" of AA at the time. He didn't deserve it, but like I said, he was the front man.
This is really all that needs to be said. I hope its enough explanation because this is not the old AA forums and that baggage is not going to enter these hallowed halls if I have anything to say about it.
Jeez, I am beginning to sound like Dean Wormer! (for you too young for this pop-culture reference, Google Animal House).
