Having said that, I do think quite highly of Escrotebiz, so much so that I tease him a little about his name even. The guy has done nothing except be a straight shooter in every post I have seen of his, and his business from what I know of it is a shining example of how professionalism breeds success. I do however get the impression from the ICQ log provided that there must have been some misunderstanding, because it seems on the surface that EB has jumped the gun a bit. The problem here is that none of us were there with him when this happened, so none of us except him knows how it went down.
But hey, as long as he's happy with the actual work, and Jellohead is happy with her payment, then I would suggest that might be the end of it. EB can simply not send any more business her way in the future..... case close, no? Maybe we should probably drop this now rather than continuing into some pissing that might lead to some bad blood that we really don't need.

Like I said, I've had nothing but respect for him as well, and I don't do business with him either. He's always come across as a good, professional person in the past. But this whole thread reeks of unprofessionalism. He jumped on someone and trashed their reputation before they had the chance to earn one.
My problem isn't so much what he did, but what he isn't doing. Sure, there was a misunderstanding. Shit happens. But he refuses to admit there was a misunderstanding. He's attempting to justify his actions. And he refuses to apologize to her either. It's one thing for him not to do any more business with her, but it's another for him to encourage others not to as well.
Not only does jellohead have ICQ, but she has an email address and a phone number as well. His failure to obtain those contacts, or his failure to communicate with her through those contacts also reeks of unprofessionalism.
And then, when I voice my opinion, he pins it on the fact that I'm Canadian. What the fuck does my nationality have to do with anything? And does he not realize that you and LadyMischief are also Canadian?
