I have no problem with people having their own opinion but Than was my Youth Pastor..Like every preacher, everyone one has good days and bad days.

There is a difference in not fellowshipping because they are UPC and not fellowshipping because there are differing views or convictions.
Some believe that if it is UPC it should be fellowshipped no questions asked.

I believe that this is part of the new paradigm the Tulsa group is trying to establish i.e. fellowship is not based on a card or certificate but on life and message whether independent, UPC, ALJC, PAW LMNOP or whatever. Interestingly the same thing seems to also be happening on the more liberal end of the spectrum.

I wonder if his brother was at the other one?

Someone said, and I believe it, that while this issue may not be enough for some to 'break away' from the UPC over a large percentage of them agree with the concerns the Tulsa group have. If the UPC makes them look 'persecuted' for holding on to an issue of separation it will cause many to move Tulsa way.

It is not an issue of seperation, it is about outreach.
