SFA Continues Their Strong Arm Tactics and Threats

Posted in Who Is Attempting to Stop the Testing Effort? by Administrator on the August 31st, 2008

Some in the industry complained that I compared the Stone Fabricators Alliance (SFA) to the Aryan Brotherhood. Of course the comparison wasn’t about racism, but the propensity of both groups to use strong arm tactics in advancing their goals.

Here are some quotes from one of their many threads on their forum on this subject. I’ve added a few comments in bold type.

“In my opinion the only way to fight the lies which have been spewed about granite, is to use the same media/mediums which brought them to light in first place such as The Today Show and NYT and CBS ect. ect. ”

“We called MIA today to find out when we will see Mr. Hogan, as the president of the number 1 authority on natural stone in America, on national television? The answer we got was ” We offered to come on and hope it will happen ”

“We have supplied information to these media sources. They are choosing to ignore much of what we have to say. ”

“Jim Hogan and many others have offered their time and expertise to the media, only to have it edited out. Many more have written letters to the editor demanding satisfaction. ” As in a duel?

“The way I posted may sound hard (edit) but I’m pissed off!! 2 days after they ran that crap on the Today show I lost a job because the costumer got scared of granite. How about somebody sue these media outlets who allowed this to be aired, that will bring attention to our side of the story instantly. MIA have said they have lawyers on this, so when are they going to do something? ” I would say this gentleman lost a sale because he would’t test his stone.

“That being said. SUE SOMEBODY. Punch somebody in the nose! And let me know where the rumble is.”

“I understand the frustration, I have offered to hop a plane and hand deliver punches.” This is a MIA spokesperson saying this!

“Jeff,

If you want to save on air fare, I’d be willing to personally drive you to deliver those punches.” This is Miles Crowe, one of the SFA faction that apparently believes that violence solves many problems.

The entire thread can be seen here, until the SFA realizes we are linking to it and removes the thread to the “Dark Room”.
