Did you know that the Coker Tire name was going to be mentioned in the video, or not? Yes or no? "I don't know them" is an evasive answer that doesn't apply to this situation. Did you know, or not?
Did you pay for the sponsorship mention? Yes or no? Who did? Why won't your brother talk to us?
A ****-erotic photo of two men in "Spank My Monkey" thongs was posted on our site. An extremely manipulative, despicable video with sneaky subliminal marketing tactics that damages hotrodding culture was posted on our site. All of this was done in clear violation of our guidelines. The fact that it was done under the guise of "let's donate to charity" is reprehensible. Anyone who is involved should be ashamed.
We asked nicely for an apology numerous times. We were ignored.
It's very simple. This is a forum for freely exchanging hotrodding knowledge and culture. It's not a place to be manipulated for the marketing ventures of parts suppliers, production companies, or anyone else with a commercial interest.
I want to know who footed the bill. I want to know everyone who was involved.
I haven't said that it HAS to be you at all. Is it being implied? You bet. The comments in our parodies have been attributed to "Coker Tire", as they should be. Coker Tire is responsible for everything that gets said under Coker Tire's name. You are the head of Coker Tire, so you are being selected as the representative in our parodies.
Either way, we don't trust you. You came in here and tried to push us around and manipulate us. Legal scare tactics while you run afoul of the law? It was disgusting what you did, and we are owed an apology.
A member of your company, posting here without revealing his ties to your company, is extremely duplicitous and shady. If he was posting from your company IP address, why did he put "CO" as his location, and then mention my personal name, and Boulder,CO, the town that I live in? Because he was lying about his location, and because he wanted to make me feel afraid for my personal safety and privacy, that's why.
By the way, if you think you can come in here and slam my character, you're nuts. I've dedicated years of my life to this community, and earned a reputation as a solid leader. We are a knowledge and culture powerhouse with awesome members and solid morals. You're a slick, well-connected marketer using some very questionable tactics. You're trying to sneak away from responsibility by attacking my character. You refuse to address the issues here. You ignore our direct questions, and you attack my character, and the character of our members, instead.
By the way, keep watching as this scandal unfolds. You wouldn't believe some of the things we've uncovered already, but haven't mentioned yet.
You haven't apologized for anything.
Jerk.
