I know that Bob took on a project for Banthis for a pretty good price, a college humor type site that needed some programming done, there was a list of things to be done and they both agreed to the deal.
After a some of the work was done Banthis started throwing in things in the mix that also needed to be done, it's not uncommon for people to do this with programmers, designers etc. At some point Bob said, "no I am not going to keep doing more and more without charging you extra for it" Of course Banthis (who claims to have all kinds of money and cars and what not) couldn't or didn't want to pony up some extra cash. He also kept throwing into Bob's face how he had to save up for the $1000 for a long long time to begin with.
But all that really doesn't matter but it does show a little bit of where this is going. Banthis wants a Collegehumor type site completely custom built for him for $1000 bucks, we all know that is not going to happen.
Then on top of it all Banthis wanted a function that gave him the ability to rip videos out of sites, Bon refused (Bob owns some paysites as well and told him that morally he didn't think that he should do that. (this was besides the list) although he called it url ripping/grabbing or whatever.
(makes me wonder why he needs to rip peoples videos in the first place but ok)
All this shit built up to Banthis becoming the rudest mofo expecting he can walk out with a Cadillac from the Toyota car dealer ship.
I think if he was upfront about ALL the work he wanted or he was reasonable when he added more work to say "I will pay the extra" then Bob would have continued and he would have had his site up.
Bob has literally done 10's of thousands of work for us. Then again I don't text message or bug him on Sunday mornings whining and crying like a little girl.
Just my 2 cents as someone who has seen this happening from the sidelines.

I would LOVE to see what you are saying backed up, I have been patient as hell and NO i did not add on extra features they were all laid out but of course Bob claims he"only saw list one"
I gave him a LIST of things that needed to be done, if he didnt want to do it he shouldnt have agreed to the project. And if he wasnt going to finish, he should have atleast told me instead of keeping me waiting 5 months, there is NO EXCUSE for that.
Furthermore i was more than patient and polite with him. I dont know a single person who would have been as polite as i was to him. But after MONTHS of waiting it got to me and i wanted it done. Do you realize how much of an idiot i look like when i told my sponsors about the date it the site would go up literally about 25 different times. Obviously you are partial to "Beaver Bob" and you cant look at it from my point of view so theres nothing further to be said to you.
As for you saying i texted him on sunday morning like a little whiny girl? You mean i texted him months after the deadline giving him a final deadline, sending him a text message that costed him a few cents while he costed me thousands? I think he can pay the few cents
