I don't have a bad "relation" with FTE...though I admit to having a bad 'relationship' with them. And "negativity" (as used in his message) isn't a verb, it's a noun. I don't "negativity" promote FTE, I negatively promote FTE (which really isn't correct grammar either)....As you should have been aware if you actually read this, the owner of FORDification has a bad relation with FTE, and negativity promotes FTE...
(So why should they be upset anyway? I was always taught that even bad publicity was still publicity. ) 
I could have taken the low road like them and entered FTE into the site's profanity filters, but the whole basis for our disagreement in the first place was the complete lack of freedom of speech over there, and I simply want people to be aware of what they're getting into. I've never even chastised anyone for mentioning them or being a member there, and in fact allow posts here with links to threads or photo galleries there. The whole purpose of this site is to have a place where we can freely exchange ideas, opinions and information about trucks in an open forum. My personal feelings are immaterial. As long as the discussion pertains to these trucks, for the most part it's allowed.
Anyway, that e-mail was obviously written by some backside-kissin' little FTE weasel. How the heck can someone be aware that there are problems between the two sites, if they've only just recently begun to get into the hobby? And then to blatantly insult someone like that shows a complete lack of tact and decorum. When my two-year-old acts like that, he gets a couple good swats on his butt and sent to his room. Unfortunately, this is just another example of 'business-as-usual' for them.
I used to get a little upset over their playground antics over there....now it's just pure pity and disgust. Their total disregard for their members is downright apalling and completely unprofessional. It's one thing to bad-mouth the company, it's quite another to start singling their customers out and getting personal.
