I contacted him the other day on the HB Forums to try and understand what was going on. He gave me the ok to share this with the folks here. Here is his reply to me unedited.
Yeah I came back. It was harsh. I did not expect to have many friends again after that, but I came back fresh with a new attitude and yes with a new name. Your right I did not cheat, not even one little bit. You might say so what, and that's true so what, whats in an accomplishment of not cheating, absolutely nothing and that's absolutely true.
I could come back now after they do whatever they do, mete out whatever punishment they mete out and as whoever I want, but not this time. This game has taken enough from me, time to move on I wish.
However these 2 episodes have exposed an under belly of the tours and those that run it. To be clear I did not get caught cheating. The latest episode is a straw of sorts for me. The IP address, its completely false they caught me using an IP address from the same location. Impossible really, but this is a court of public opinion and not law.
This has zero to do with me slipping up either. Its delusional to think that I would change my IP address to log into their web-site, use vpns or cellular connections or need to be careful about how I log in. All that need happen is a new address and that's what happened and all that happened. I figured what the heck, start everything fresh, I had an old steam account use that start fresh and new and move on. I had created a second account at TGCT that I never played on, Doyley actually gave me the name Bryan Boomer, I tried using Boom Boom, he changed it to Bryan Boomer and said in an email I could change it or not my choice later., but i liked it and left as given to me.
However, once again they completely made evidence up to suit their belief, twice now Just because they may have been right this time, does not make that practice right ever IMHO. In their defense last time they acted on information received from HBS. HBS did supply information, what later turned out to be bad information. I need to make another thing perfectly clear, I never once threatened to sue TGCT, then now or ever. Yes I threatened to sue HBS when it was admitted to me something was wrong with the information provided to TGCT but there was nothing they were going to do about it. I told them if that information was used by TGCT to call me a cheater I would sue HBS, I was assured then by HBS that would not happen, so I figured well that's something then at least and left it at that. THAT SIMPLE. I so just did not wish to be labelled a cheater. Would of rathered everyone come clean but it was made clear to me that was never going to happen. To date, HBS kept their end of the bargain. I have not logged into TGCT or been to TGCT since the naming and shaming to see if TGCT is still doing as requested by HBS, I assume they are though although your comment above is concerning and has peaked my curiosity to check.
Just because I know how to, does not mean I did.
Yeah I slipped up, I used an old avatar that I forgot about. Honestly after you sent me the PM a week or so ago, I went back through that old account, saw the pic, converted it to sketch and loaded it up. Never even gave it much thought, I just did it, in my mind I guess the past was the past and I had put it all behind me, that was my mistake, my only mistake. Well maybe coming back early was also wrong as well granted. Really never believed I should have ever been gone, and that had more to do with my decision than anything else. I did however ensure I did not play the PGA tour until a start of a new season. If you look at my record I had earned an exemption in Web to play on the PGA tour, I did not, I did not for the sole reason of the suspension. But I get the suspension was from the site and not the Tour, I was just in my way trying to limit the damage already done.
So yeah, that's it then, in a nutshell. Yeah I came back. Will I come back again? maybe, it would be delusional of me to think otherwise, but truth be told, I'd really rather not, I know how completely unforgiving the community can be. That aside as I cannot really blame the community, as already stated, it would be crazy to come back a third time and embrace the tour as friends. They went pretty far way out of their way to rid themselves of me.
So there, it's all out on the table now. At this point it's all just a big mess of gooey dung.
Times like this, you get to see who your friends really are, what saddens me the most in all of this, is Daniel Waring. Friends stand by you in time of need, not abandon you like a used condom. However it is what it is, I'll get over it and move on I'm sure.
