That's just a sidebar. What I'm mainly talking about is that he threatened Garr by refusing to deliver the equipment he paid for because Garr was complaining and talking shit about BFL. Garr was essentially beaten into submission because he had a large order for a group of people and couldn't afford to have his delivery canceled. Josh was using his order as leverage to control Garrs behavior by threatening to cancel or delay it. I'm pretty sure the court would agree that speaks to Josh's character.
There's another word for that. It's called "extortion." It's a RICO predicate, incidentally.
You mean this threat?
Duly noted Garr and I understand your concerns. I will get your refund processed first thing tomorrow when I get into the office.
I did not request a refund.
I'm done here, your refund will be processed by COB tomorrow.
In order for me to keep my pre-orders Josh is making me do the following:
- Apologize Publicly for calling Josh and BFL liars
- Admit "Werner" is a sock puppet account uner my control
- Apologize for using "Werner" to troll him
Therefore, in the best interest of Cognitive, the people who have purchased pre-orders from me, and myself:
Dear Inaba and BFL:
Sorry for calling you liars. Werner is a sock puppet account under my control. Sorry for utilizing said account to "troll" you.
With regret,
Garr255
Also, I apologize to all who I may have put at risk by speculating that BFL may have been acting in a dishonest fashion. If I had known that the cancellation of orders placed by me would result of this I would not have acted in such a way, as that would be a direct violation of the fiduciary duty imposed on me by handling others' assets.
Well done blackmail, Josh. Well done.

Oh good, you found it. Thanks! I looked and looked to no avail.
