Especially since Doug did not take the bait of making it a public spectacle and had made a statement to customers directly.
This is consistent with other thread deletions I've seen in NVG. It's not the first time a business has been advertised under the guise of drama. The Streisand effect is real though, so taking that thread down after 100 posts will probably help JNandez more than hurt now.
This is a very confused statement.
JNandez posted his video, a topic was started here, Doug came right on in and made a lot of comments, including his main statement. Then he linked to it JNandez's Twitter. JNandez felt compelled to sign up and I guess defend himself against all the comments Doug was making.
So 1. Doug most certainly did take the bait if that's how you want to view it, 2. JNandez was not looking for "free advertising" but was responding to Doug's multiple comments on the situation (he had nothing to do with the thread and only found it because Doug linked him to it), 3. It's not consistent with other thread deletions, because literally the exact same ****ing post has appeared now, but without Doug or JNandez actually posting in it, and now everyone has to piece together what the **** happened yesterday (including you apparently), 4. I think what JNandez did was out of line and commented that it in the deleted thread, but I will reiterate you're wrong to accuse him of using the drama to his advantage, 5. I don't have a 5.

You say this like it's the height of dignity, but of course Doug would want to deal with it quietly and with not too much publicity, as it will potentially affect public trust in Upswing to deliver courses and coaching over the long term.
