Welllll, some interesting developments on this.
Today, Steve Green associated with this "Tornado Attack" contacted my business contact at Channel 11 here locally and made some pretty strong statements. Since I contract with them and am not a direct employee, they gave him my phone number. He called and left a rather threatening message on my voice mail but called from an "unavailable number" and didn't bother to leave a callback number. Sooo, I decided to share his message here, and make my response to it, since he's obviously reading this thread.
He apparantly told my contact at Ch. 11 that I had attacks on MY website about him
(which I don't), and then referred him to this thread. First of all, just to clue you in Mr. Green, StormTrack.org or any part of it does NOT belong to me whatsoever. This is a membership only message board and I am only a member here just like everyone else, and as far as I know anyone here is free to post their opinions on anything as long as they are within the guidelines set forth by those that run it. Ch. 11 also has absolutely nothing to do with this, and in fact didn't even know StormTrack existed until you called them and referred them to it. The logo is my AVATAR, just like everyone else has an AVATAR.
Secondly, I have zero control over what ANYONE else does or says, so calling me or anyone else I might be associated with and threatening me if I don't have this thread removed or do something about it is assinine, and not even in my realm of control, much less a possibility. If you want the thread removed then I would suggest contacting someone that can actually do something about it, like forum admin.
Furthermore, I have no idea what is going on with your stuff on Ebay. I have been out working on my chase van all afternoon until my cell phone started ringing off the hook and I figured I better come find out why. Not only was your auction posted here, but it was also posted to WXCHASE as well. Literally HUNDREDS of people either get wxchase or read here, so blaming me for whatever might be going on over there is ludicrous.
Finally, sue me if you think it will make you feel better, I really could care less. I don't have much anyway, so you might be disappointed. :roll: Last I checked, you can't sue someone for the actions of others. And FYI, the good folks at Ch. 11 had NO CLUE about you, tornado attack or even StormTrack until you called them, so your barking up the wrong tree there. Anything I post on ST are my words and thoughts and mine alone and have nothing to do with anyone else, or anyone I might have any association with.
Here was the phone message he left me transcribed, with my comments added in parenthesis:
David Drummond, Steve Green from Tornado Attack. I just got off the phone with (my contact at ch. 11) and he bothered to take the time to see me at the Landis house and I believe he talked to Chris Landis who told him that I was the one that pulled them out. (I checked with my contact and was told this was a false statement) Uh, the attacks and the approach, whether it's Kurt or whoever thats gone to Ebay, if you want to keep your association with Channel 11 I suggest you get everyone in line there (stormtrack), and eviscerate this page of attack (this thread). Otherwise, (my contact) will be calling you to make sure that contract is null and void.
And if you do your due diligence you will see that we did exactly what we said other than the fact of the misconception of which tornado we drove into. But you obviously haven't done the work, nobody there has, of going to the web page and actually seeing this. So, unless you guys are to lazy to do the work, if you attack me in the press. Anybody from your facility or anybody from your program (what facility? what program?) contacts any of my bidders on Ebay and Ebay directly, they will be filed a lawsuit, because thats a federal law in interfering with business practices. You might want to contact your attorney. If a lot of this isn't changed and changed quickly, by Monday afternoon, there will be a high price to pay. Please do your homework. Please understand that this is a serious program. And if you don't you're just going to have to reap the repercussions.
And as a matter of fact, Scott Currens is part of my program. Reed Timmer is actually the one that filmed the event and Reed is a meteorologist so you guys gotta get your crap together or pay the price.
:roll: This might be the last I have to say on it though as storm season is here and I have more important things to worry about, like getting my chase vehicle done and chasing. Don't know why all the worst drama has to hunt me down. :roll:
