Attn Ed From EQ Tuning (no one but him post please)

Please explain your self and the allegations i have brought against you about not being a legitimate business. I am giving you this one chance before i call in more favors. Please understand that this IS serious, and by no means should you ignore this. If you fail to explain your self i will be calling one of 13 head legal counsels for the California franchise tax board and notifying them that i have come across a potentially illegal business operating with out a proper license. This may have far reaching and deep financial impact upon you. I do not want to do this but if you do not respond to my allegations and either confirm them, or deny them and state your reasoning to do such i will make the call. I am only trying to find out the truth, and if it so happens that you are not legit this is you opportunity to avoid possibly deeper investigation by authorities.

once again i am not trying to be a COMPLETE dick head here, just want the truth. I suggest you tell your fan bois to shut the **** up and stay out of this, as if they instigate me i will do it out of spite, and i wont stop there at that point.

So once again everyone stay the **** out of this unless you are ED.

And i am not power tripping as much as it would seem, i feel that by the blatant lies, deception, and bull**** marketing practices that have been used by Ed that i am forced to call him out on his claims. This has nothing to do with his technical abilities and everything to do with proper BUISNESS ETHICS, ETTIQUITE, and PROCEDURES...

None of which i have seen come to fruition with EQ Tuning.

Now please moderators if you would delete all posts that are flame material by anyone but EQ Tuning or "bumps" by others i would (and im sure everyone else in BAIC) appreciate it.

Love Dre

This is a pm i sent to EQ Tuning, i am posting this so everyone can see it and so that it is public. This way he cant simply state that he didnt see the thread. If i do not see a response from ED by sometime this weekend i will continue pursuing all my options.

https://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100666

I know from our conversation on the phone that you are trying to ignore me. But i am giving you your one and only chance to answer to the allegations i am making against you in an adult and responsible manner. If you choose to ignore them and or flame me i will continue doing what i plan on doing.

Please...

Andre...I have no sides to take on this main issue, but I think you're setting yourself up for a lawsuit.

Right now Ed (or someone associated with Ed) could be reporting you to register.com regarding the post in the other thread. Unless of course you can come up with the express written permission from register.com that allows you to post all of his information on a public forum.

Here, let me quote what you quoted from the inquiry you posted:

"The compilation, repackaging, dissemination or other use of this data is expressly
prohibited without the prior written consent of Register.com. "

I believe that the definition of "dissemination" is: To spread abroad; promulgate: (courtesy dictionary.com)

Can't spread it much further than worldwide...

Show us the written permission (signed by one of the board of directors) from register.com please. That or you're stooping just as low as you accuse him of squatting.

Ed is gone for the long weekend. He wont be near a computer until Monday, AFAIK. Keep your winkie in its holster.

Ed doesn't owe you anything. He has no obligation to you. You can't blackmail people just because you have a stick up your ***. Get over yourself.

Jeremy

Dre -- Just for the record. If Ed eventually shows you that he has had a business license this entire time, or you go off the deep end and actually do something stupid only to find out that he has a business license, what are you going to do? How will you make this up to Ed?

Roo, it public information and its in the public domain, i would love to see a lawsuit brought against me for posting whois information. In fact in invite it. It will give my gf good resume fodder.

Anyways please keep all posts out of this thread as it was intended for ed from eq tuning to respond to my claims. I hope for his sake as well as the sake of everyone who has done buisness with him that he used some buisness name that no one knows of and used a totaly different name for that license.

Anyways please refrain from posting in this thread as orginally stated.

Nope, in fact if he can prove he has one i will be the first to give him congrats on the fact that he isnt the liar and con he smells like at this moment. And dont think the DATE of which he obtained the license isnt public record as well. Running out and getting one on monday morning wont do much as far as his previous claims and will end up being just the same story as the wideband sensor.

I will wait till early next week (until he comes back) before i do anything else.

And i have nothing to make up at all, if im wrong im wrong and i look like a ******** (which i accepted as a risk and personall could give a **** about). If i am right then all the egg is on his face. You forget that i have nothing to lose, and he has everything. Hence why when you start a buisness and become a vendor in a community you have to have all your t's crossed and i's dotted. I guess we wait until ed can respond, and i hope he does. He has some explaing to do.

and if everything is in order he has NOTHING to worry about, i mean NOTHING at all..

1. Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it. Not from me, because I'm typically not a rabble rouser who is out to get people and slam people who are attempting to help the community. You have started a campaign which has led to the saturation point. At this time, you've started or interjected on at least THREE threads (I'm only looking on the first page...), and made your point abundantly clear.

There IS a saturation point at which the people who agree with you have already made up their minds not to give Ed their business, and those who support Ed and his business are going to continue to do so, regardless of your written intervention. You have FAR EXCEEDED the saturation point. Your best course of action if you care to continue is to contact the authorities (as you have obviously done) and continue to pursue this offline.


2. Giving your g/f resume fodder? Hmm, I hope she's brushed up on corporate law, business law, and case law regarding slander and libel. Hopefully she's been in practice long enough to have associates to handle her work while she defends you. I know of a few people who have incorporated in different states in order to not make their personal information public in order to protect some of their privacy. They have business licenses, resale numbers, and they are currently in business for themselves. They pay their taxes, etc., but at least you can't find them by going to the local registrars office. They publish their fictitious name statement in a paper in the next county over in an attempt to make sure no one is reading the information contained. There are services that I can find who will publish a fictitious name statement that has circulation in the county, but that no one reads the paper. I could go on showing you LARGE gaps in your methodology, but would rather not.


3. To quote you above: "...it public information in the PUBLIC DOMAIN..." I stress public domain because you think you have the authority, no, the RIGHT to tell people not to post in a PUBLIC THREAD in a PUBLIC FORUM on a PUBLIC DOMAIN. I'm not sure why you consider yourself to be the master of all things business. I would think that you would accomplish more by whispering than shouting.

Whisper in Admin's ear about the lack of a business license. Study up on the liability that Admin would face if supporting someone without a business license. Your shouting has gotten you pretty much nowhere. I think you've discredited yourself in your choice of actions on this board.

My PUBLIC .02 on this PUBLIC board.

Have a nice evening.

That's why I said:

Once again, reading comprehension issues.

and if everything is in order he has NOTHING to worry about, i mean NOTHING at all..
That's very big of you Dre. That would totally make up for all of the **** you've given him and all of the potential business he might have lost because of your lunacy.

So we wait till ed shows up and settles this little question.. Would have been easy as pie if would have answered the orginal thread WHICH I KNOW HE KNEW ABOUT AND HAD READ. How do i know? because i called his *** up and pretended to be a worried potential customer.. Pretty bad when you have to trick the guy to get an answer from him...

Anyways you can post all you want, just lets not get into a flame fest, mods are going to watch this thread like the hawks they are. And Roo, my GF is a lawyer, she can practice and she does. Every single day. Not to mention the family full of lawyers she has as well as my self. Im not worried about the liability of posting whois information on a public website. I am rather well versed in the legal issues surounding information disclosure. Cant tell you how many NDA's i have signed and read each and every gory detail of and hell even created with other legal counsel.

To answer your last post jeremy. Ed has the ability to respond and end all my allegations in a very direct and timely manner. If was talking out of my *** it would be DAMN EASY to prove that. Its not like i havent given him any chances (started a thread asking him a simple question, which he read but never responded to). If you havent figured it out im not going to shut up until i get the information i have requested. And hope you have figured out i am a stubborn son of a *****. You have to be in my line of work, or else you dont end up being ****.

as for making up for ****.. I dont have to, i dont owe him anything, he has had every oppertunity in the world to respond to my allgations and prove me wrong. He has choosen not to respond to my questions and posts. In doing so HE is the one who MADE HIM SELF look the fool. He wont have lost **** for buisness from my actions, only is OWN INACTIONS.

Hell to be dead honest with you i would have him tune my car just so i can see what he can do. I dont think he is some awful tuner, i just think he is a young inexperienced kid who doesnt have a clue about running a buisness in the market place he is in. And all his actions have backed that up pretty damn well to this point.


Anyways with that i wait for Ed to respond, so feel free to call my mom a fat cow or what ever two bit insults you can cook up i wont respond with more then a bump until ed posts up his reasoning, and proof (maybe a buisness name he used, and what city it is in, since the city he told me via the phone doesnt have any record of him even existing).

I don't think I've even come close to flaming. That isn't my intention. I'm just bringing up questions and points for discussion...(unlike you, I'm not obliged to resort to swearing)...and would like to see what comes of the discussion.

I think you know the old saying..."You catch more flies with honey than vinegar"...it holds true. With the attitude you've presented, I'm not sure that I wouldn't keep quiet until it's too late for you to back out, then close the net. That would fund a business expansion...

So, with that in mind, why wouldn't you help the guy? Why not instead of trying (in vain, it appears) to crush out his ambition, why not offer your business acumen and experience to help him become an active and lawful member of the community? I'm sure it's too late (for you) now, but I bet if someone approached Ed with the proposal of showing him the course he needs to take in order to legitimize his business (if he hasn't already done so), he might be willing to take on a partner/business manager. It might not pay a lot in the beginning, but look at some of the other shops which have grown out of a little ambition. Hmm...there's a certain tuning shop in the North Bay that I can think of as an example...I first met them when they were still working in a garage behind the house. Now they have a legitimate shop (I've never been there, but hear it's pretty nice), a dyno, and are offering tuning services.

Hmm...I don't think your mother has anything to do with this, so an attack against her would be fruitless. An attack against you isn't worth my time either. I choose to sit here and decipher the logic that you are using in your course of action. I see other alternatives which would be CONSTRUCTIVE instead of DESTRUCTIVE to the community which you claim to love.

Feel free to PM me a response, or post it here.

you're right. You don't have anything to lose and Ed does. This doesn't seem fair. It's like picking on a disabled or elderly.

I think you should put something on the table like never posting here again. Ever. This way you're losing something too: a voice.

If Ed comes up clean, an apology and never posting should come into play. If he's dirty like you believe, you win.

Yeah, I know, I posted and I'm not Ed. Sometimes when I want someone to read something and I don't want anyone else to post on the subject, I'll PM them.
