The first part of this is a repost from another board. The second part has been added after reading your last post here on GFY in the "I got fucked over" thread.
THE REPOSTED PART:
Do you remember life before all the money came along?
Do you remember having to wake up wondering, "How are the bills going to be paid this month?"
Please put yourself back in that situation. Look at things through the eyes of another.
When you put aside work that pays your bills and put all of your hopes and dreams on the words of another person, there comes a time when you would like a little security in the form of a signed document.
And when you're working long hours with little sleep and having to ignore work that will pay your bills to make sure that a project, secured only by the promises of a "rich guy" you trust, will succeed... there comes a time you would like a little security in the form of a signed document.
So when you email that "rich man" and ask for the signed document and voice your heart felt concerns on a few issues, you do not expect him to tell you to fuck off with no discussion.
Regardless of the "rich man's" personal situation, everyone needs a little stability in their life.
Please keep that in mind.
THE NEW PART, IN RESPONSE TO THIS:

Is it true, or not true, that the two of them had to do 100% of the work while you were in the hospital? Of course they did, because you were incapacitated. They didn't complain about that because it's not something that could be helped. But is it not also true that things were going to continue to be that way? Is it not understandable to want a larger percentage of the site if one is doing a larger percentage of the work than originally agreed upon?
Is it not also true that you wanted a 10 year lease on THEIR domain?
You invest less than $10,000 and want the Lion's share of the site? And you bitch because they want to renegotiate once they're stuck doing the Lion's share of the work?
Fletch started that site before you were involved. And for less than $10,000 you want to control a site that will likely make more than that in a single month on advertising? You wish to control that and receive a much larger percentage for at least 120 months?
I do not blame Fletch for asking you to renegotiate. All he did was **ASK** and you blew up, correct? You were not even willing to discuss the matter? You told him to fuck off and have fun with his board? Then you brought it directly to the boards?
Hmmm...
