Who is JoeCool?

I am curious to know who JoeCool is. I know he runs blog about quixtar and I agree with some of his stuff, but I also disagree with some of his posts. Doing some research, all I could come up with was his name. His first name is Steve and a few months ago, he had some issues with being sent a threat and then someone also exposed his web activities that showed he was posting materials on a porn site.

Who is this mysterious anti quixtar crusader?

Wottsa matter Joe? Scared to post here?

John said...

C'mon Joe, come out to play.

How's the new job?

Anonymous said...

JoeCool is Steve Nakamura and his wife is Noreen.

Right Joe?

Curious George said...

Hey John or Anonymous, how did you find that information?

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

He wasn't sent any threats, he made that up. Full story is on TTAA - The JoeCool Threat Story and The JoeCool Threat Story Pt.2, but you have to register on the site to read them.

John said...

Hey IBOfightback,

Have you been knocking joecool around lately?

Cowboy said...

Hey ibofightback, I didn't know you were from Trinidad and Tobago. Lying again are you?

Also, I'm pretty certain you aren't 37 years old. Yet you post that on your myspace profile.

Why are you a liar?

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

When I filled out the profile I was 37. No idea about T&T - might have filled that out when I was there. Nice place, you should visit.

Try again.

Cowboy said...

Liar, myspace has you enter your birthdate, that's how age is determined. Liar. Nice try.

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

no idea, I don't use myspace except occasionally to visit other sites. Come to think of it, I might have set that account up to look at JoeCool's profile he lied about not being him then admitted was him.

Best you can get is I might have put a year in wrongly (and not by much) on a website profile?

that's it?

hmmm, come to think of it I suspect you may be a joecool sock puppet as well.

Cowboy said...

I had a conversation with Tex and he said your the biggest liar around.

curious george said...

Guys, I think we're off topic here.

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

Apologies george.

To put it back on topic, about JoeCool - I think cowboy possibly *is* joecool. He writes in a similar style. I think a bunch of the other commentators on joecool's website may also be joecool. Some of the supposed "IBOs" are just bizarre over-the-top caricatures of IBOs that it's impossible to believe they're real. They do however fit nicely in to JoeCool's agenda.

Just a theory.

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

john - I've had nothing to do with JC recently, until the comment here responding to curious george. I do notice he has an unhealthy obsession with me though.

Actually an unhealthy obessession with the whole business. When I pop over to QuixtarBlog I find he's reposting posts from literally months and years ago, desperately trying to stir up conversation. How much time does he spend reading up all these old posts? Folk accuse me of spending too much time, but I just have google alerts running for new stuff, not trolling all the ancient comments. Bizarre.

curious george said...

Not sure about the cowboy poster, but I think going crown and going diamond made some posts on the Random Observations blog. I have been reading blogs but not necessarily been posting much as not much is happening in Quixtar and Amway.

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

I think what you mean is not much controversial is happening :)

I don't exactly call launching TV advertisements and new websites, just for some things, as "nothing"

curious george said...

Agreed, not much to blog about. Time to start focusing on pro football or golf.

curious george said...

Sorry John, I deleted your last comment. I think that (if true) is a bit too personal information about JoeCool. I will post it if you can show a link.

John said...

Why is JoeCool so obsessed with quixtar? I read his blog and it sounds like he's a bitter MFer.

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

I don't know about "bitte" but he's certainly obsessed. It's amazing how many people query my motivation for supporting Amway, but few ever query folk like JoeCool for their obsessive criticism. He is regularly reposting posts that are months and years old. How much time does he spend finding them?

I note too that "cowboy" hasn't challenged my query as to whether he is joecool

Cowboy said...

I'm not JoeCool. Happy?

Frankly, both JoeCool and IBOfightback have unhealthy obsessions, both coming from opposite ends of the specter.

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

I have a business interest in promoting positive information about Amway.

JoeCool is just obsessed.

Cowboy said...

What business? You get something in return for promoting Amway?

Curious George said...

My understanding is that IBOFightback is an Amway IBO and owns other businesses.

Isn't that right?

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

Isn't that kind of the point of being an IBO? To make money through promoting Amway and Amway products?

curious george said...

IBOFightback, has your promotion of Amway actually helped your Amway business with any significance?

If you don't mind sharing, are you at the platinum level or higher?

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

I've had more than one IBO join my downline whom I have later found out were googling the business and not going to join after what they'd read and then found various of my contributions and changed their minds. So yes, it's been beneficial.

Oh, and they didn't realise it was me doing the posting. That may change of late! :)

This is one BORING, uninteresting blog.

Hey JoeCool/Steve, you still living in Kaneohe near Angie's market?

John said...

joecool is steve nakamura and lives with his wife in Kaneohe. He works on the campus of the university of hawaii as an auditor and is employed with grant thornton auditing. he used to be in amway under harimoto and he was downline from a direct leg under the name of yanagawa from california and had a designated upline who he counseled with on oahu.

Interesting. Tell us more....

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

An auditor? Hard to believe given he seems to struggle with math

John said...

It is hard to imagine such an idiot could be an auditor. What does he audit? Strip clubs?

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

Oh very clever Mr Nakamura - link to a post which does nothing more than link to a comment where I wrote something quickly and then commented later that I was wrong, it wasn't a suit yet.

Are you ever wrong, Steve?

Steve, your's and Larsen's obsession with me is verging on stalking. It's becoming quite scary.

John said...

I'll post more stuff on JoeCool as I get more information. People who tear down IBO's deserve to be torn down themselves.

IBOfightback should not complain about stalking after this:

Curious George said...

Wow, I have been out of town for a while, but this thread has really come to life. So Joe-Cool is an auditor in Hawaii? No wonder he is so critical of things, but he does make some good arguments about quixtar, but I do not agree with all of them. In general, I am of the opinion that quixtar is not evil, but surely not as good as some people portray it to be. But that is the same with many things in life. Buyer beware.

Joecool said...

So you know a little bit about me. Big deal, what are you going to do, show up at my house for tea and crumpets?

IBOFightback - Fighting the Amway Myths said...

But JoeCool, over on QBlog you claimed the critics didn't know your identity and had it wrong.

Were you lying then, or lying now?

Joecool said...

You're the only proven liar on these boards. You lied about a lot of Amway related stories.

You have no credibility except on your own blogs. That's why you avoid all the other ones because
everyone who knows you rips you a new one.

And frankly, for an apparently mostly nothing pin who has been inactive for most of the last 8 years, I'm not so sure you even deserve credibility on your own blogs.

Curious George said...

Sorry guys, I will close comments on this thread. I think this one has been beaten to death.
