I gotta tell you, I fully agrre with this post.
Okay, so the heat's on so now he is FORCED to make good.
Maybe he's turning a new leaf and following through on all his business transactions. Fine.
What will NOT change is his temper. The guy is a hothead and if called out starts using profanity, slurs and tells people how unreasonable they are being because they want their paid items on time because we "can't possibly understand the stress he's under".
Nope. Sorry, Pal. You have my hard earned money. I expect deadlines to be met. If not, I expect an apology and an open line of communication without me having to prompt it.
As far as I'm concerned, I will never recognize him as a "respected prop builder".
