Wade,

After reading this original blog post you wrote, I think it's a bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The only difference is Ford intervened to stop a PR disaster and AA fanned the flames. I know you're well intentioned, but there's no need to resort to name calling.

I claimed no superiority over Dustin Curtis in action or demeanor. And I'll stand behind that article I wrote about Ford. It's ludicrous for a company to sue their own fan base. And the second it was found out that was not the case, I started working with both Ford and Scott Monty to get their side of the story out within minutes. (Read the linked article for context.)


Yes, let's please keep in mind the idea that you'd be comfortable saying what you're writing in your comments directly to someone's face.


I am. I was actually assuming that Dustin would read that when I wrote it. (He's posted here before in response to linked articles.) It's OK if he knows I think his writing style makes him look like an ass. I suspect he won't care or more likely already knows it, he's not dumb. Most people that have been publishing anything online that's even remotely well read gets a thick skin or gives up fast.
