Default 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?

The other promoters are your competition, ignore them.
