Re: Toyota Owners (online) Unite for Resolution: Engine Slu
Posted by Dave Nightingale on 3/16/07

    It's interesting to note that Charlene Blake has posted this
    same sick rhetoric on virtually every cartalk site on the
    net--and then some!!
    It is also interesting that some site administrators havbe
    questioned the veracity of her posts, as per the following
    response by an administrator on another site:

    "

    Ms Blake,

    Thank you for your input. Your comments are welcome here as
    are all comments that are presented courteously and in an
    effort to seek the truth. With that said, there are two
    points I’d like to raise.

    First, you seem a bit bitter. Perhaps I’d feel the same if I
    had a sludge claim that I felt Toyota was ignoring. Could
    that be what is fueling the fire within you? Do you feel
    Toyota has cheated you out of something it owed you? Would
    you please be so kind as to level with us about your
    experience, your involvement with the petition, and briefly
    explain why this is such a hot issue for you.

    Second, you seem to have a singular view of the facts that
    are presented in the settlement – at least not the views one
    gets from a plain reading of the agreement. (see link to the
    settlement agreement at the bottom of the article).
    Specifically, (1) your comment indicates that there are a
    greater number of vehicles out there that Toyota has agreed
    to repair than those that are listed on the table in the
    settlement documentation and (2) that the manufacturer has
    in some way used “loopholes” to limit its financial
    exposure. Beyond that, you all but name Toyota in a
    conspiracy theory to sabotage the online petition drive.

    Since I’d love to know what you know, could you please name
    the vehicles the lawsuit covers that are not listed in the
    settlement agreement, and explain the loopholes and sabotage
    of which you write. Your sources would be invaluable in
    objectively weighing the facts.

    Thanks for posting and we look forward to your future
    comments on this story and others."

    It's nice to know that Blake has been ask to account for her
    rhetoric. However, she never did respond to the
    administrator's query, so what does that tell us about
    Blake's integrity?
    Nuff said.
