I think it should be said. The person in question is Me.

Every story has two sides. Every side is looking out for their best interest. Take from each side, what you will.

…

First, Employment is not an issue here; I built a template and installed a CMS. This hardly defines me as an Employee.

Server level access was granted for instillation of the CMS software. Server access that was needed to install the CMS because the “client” couldn’t seem to configure their database or iterate the proper requests to their host.

Unfortunately, the client’s server configuration doesn’t allow the root access to a domain without needing access to the master account. An issue the “Client” needs to work on in the future.

Payment was rendered on work completion.

This is the extent of “Employment” and hardly qualifies me as an Employee of client.

“being completely irrational and short triggered”

Over a PERSONAL issue, I issued a C&D on our e-friendship.

“I mean things like giving access to your server,”

Server access was answered, however I’ll add to it: The access was issued 7 months ago and you can clearly see, through your server history, I only accessed the domain I was working on. I last accessed the server 6.5 months ago. Your server, your sites, your content are all in tact, unaltered and un accessed by me or anyone I associate with.

“discussing future business plans to be implemented by them, etc.”

Another unfortunate situation where I’m sure I will be accused of ripping your ideas and not giving you credit.

“What if they claim to be breaking into the industry and seem pretty knowledgeable in computers, photography, cinematography, etc.?

I think I was breaking into the industry 2 years ago if I remember right.

If they haven't worked with anyone else in the industry then how do you do a thorough background check with their mainstream work without comprising them?

Again, Unfortunate situation where I have worked with other people in and out of the industry but it’s not openly talked about on the forums for your viewing pleasure.

Right all of that was done and the guy put on a good show for a few months and then just imploded on himself.

So a few months? I have been talking to you VIA the forum and ICQ for over 2 years. My imploding, as you call it, was on our friendship.

Note: To those who've ICQ'd this is a private matter as far as the persons identity is concerned so please stop asking. I don't think he's a threat to anyone in the industry from what I've seen to date.

There were other people involved in the “Business” situation where server access was needed. Therefore my identity is known.

gaybucks_chip stated: So far, at least, we've never been screwed over badly.

you reply:

Same here (knock on wood). This particular experienced just raised my awareness.

Note how people are sending you ICQ messages on the issue. You state this situation as if you HAVE been screwed over by someone in the business. That I Screwed you, Flaked out on you, Imploded, irrational and short triggered.

At the end of the day, I will probably be blacklisted by people who don’t fully understand the situation and know this was a personal matter between you and me on an e-friendship level.

What will be taken from this situation is simply how I fucked you over in business.

This situation is NOT a public matter and I’m at fault by posting this reply as much as you are by posting your “question” with a personal fuck you to me, knowing I read the forum and wouldn’t answer your ICQ.

I apologies to everyone and will not continue posting to this thread.

Squirt, Please don’t reply to me asking for more answers to see if I’ll reply. Be an adult and take a private situation to a private area.
