Is this in BAD taste...?
 
Would this be in bad taste? For over 10 years I have extended in person an invitation to several of the other poker run promoters an invitation to come to the toys tour and have done all I can to make them feel welcome . when you went to their events they handed out my toys tour T-shirts to their guests. Many thanks for the promo help . Other than Bill Pyburn I have not seen any other promoters at my Toys tour , Nor have I seen some from there group. I wish I felt better about this situations …….In reaction to this I will have my son make a piñata of that promoter . At the toys tour this piñata will be beat in effigy and the candy will pour out. This is all in fun .



Is this in poor taste ? Who should be the persons face on the piñata?

You are doing a great thing, don't sweat the details/haters

The other promoters are your competition, ignore them.

Yes it is. Makes you look small and butt hurt.

Have to agree.

Just do you and your run the best you can. No one should be held to some standard they have to help more than they have cause it's a free charity run. Just focus on what you got going and put on a great event.

Not only agree with what has been said above, but if you did that, I would even bet you would loose some of the current people participating in your run as I am certain some will be put off by it. There is absolutely no upside to doing that. Only downside...........

I would probably delete this whole thread Rus...

The other promoters may have other things on their minds-schedules. They have given you free exposure at their events. It would look bad. Use Donald Trump's head. He is the personification of poor taste.

badmonkey 08-21-2017 02:02 PM

Totally in bad taste...delete the thread Rus.

Your opinion and just as bad as the OP's thinking. My opinion.
