My take since you asked is that this is not mine or TR's problem. As long as no personal info is posted in this thread, or threats of harm, it will remain open as long as it is of interest to people.

I'm not here to get in the way of what I see as an issue between JAP Works and Joe, both have a side to represent and are able to represent it if they want in this thread.

Other than that I am mildly amused at how this has traveled around the car community.

Bottom line, not my problem.
