Default skunk2 drama anyone? click me

i found this to be pretty interested. i guess skunk2's looking for people's information and in return they're giving away $300 or $500 in skunk2 gift cards. thought on this?

I've been reading this on k20a, NWP, and H-T. HUGE reason I HAVE NOT and WILL NOT ever own a Junk2 product. Quoted your post on NWP as well..

There are some pretty serious accusations against Skunk2 in there... Wonder if those are legit?
But i think i'll never order something from Skunk2 for safety matters. Also this bountyhunt is ridiculously unprofessional IMO!

The accusations are 100% accurate. Keep reading Daniel.

I never liked them for hating on the CR-Z in the first place, this just makes it worse.

So since H-T is aparently riding on the Junk2 bandwagon and deleting the threads I found some of the google'd ones.

I'm just sayin'.....there's a reason Skunk's been around since 1994 - Honda-Tech

This was some intense stuff... I've read it all, and just don't know what to say.
But anyhow, the worst thing for me wasn't the claimed falsehood of Skunk2's products nor the other accusations against them. The worst part for me was the fact that a professional and highly respected and well-known company put out a bounty on two young men which only mediated info which, obviously already was out there. They just made people aware of it. And the part that Skunk2 made a fake account trying to get one of the mens personal info. I can just imagine what they would do if he gave it to them. There is other ways to deal with the accusations, and that is to defend themselves with the freedom of speech.
I have certainly not a microscopical dash of respect for anyone who tries to do what Skunk2 is trying to achieve here with this bounty. I'm truly shocked and really amazed. And i will never ever carry a Skunk2 product on my car if all of this is for real.
