Remember that everything you write, post or send on the internet will be there for anyone to do anything they want to with.
If you DO NOT represent a company then you can basically act any way your choose. But if you DO represent a company within a certain industry then common courtesy should be the rule.
Sounds like someone did not know how to respect someone's wishes to be involved in something that they chose not to. If that person did not want to be involved then it is their choice.
If someone wants to block someone then it is also their choice.
I have chatted with Zorgman on a number of occasions for about a year now and have offered comments and critiques on projects that he is working on. Whenever I was busy or unable to help I would just say so and that was the end of it. This is part of doing business in hopes that one day we may indeed do some business.
For someone that is not able to respect someones private financial dealings all I have to say is.... NOT COOL! If in fact that person does represent an established company within our industry then it definitely sheds a NEGATIVE light on the employer.
