Somehow I got accused of everything under the sun just because I pointed out the truth. Dirty D has a very valid argument here. But I don't think he went about it the right way. Shoehorn has a valid argument as well, but I don't think he should have ever bought the adword for the domain name.
If it had been me, I would have been pissed if someone did that. And I would have written them IMMEDIATELY. That's where Dirty D is in the wrong. And then I would have paid him and shitcanned him. At this point after Shoehorn has done and said all of this and the gfy mob has joined in...I don't know if Dirty D has any incentive to pay him that money.
I just don't know. What would you do NOW in this situation? It looks like lose/lose to me.

d does have a valid argument here, but unfortunately he didnt have it in his terms. the proper thing to do here was pay shoehorn and then shitcan him..
i also agree that shoehorn crossed the line when he took this from a professional dispute to a personal one..
if i was d, i would have paid him right away and this whole mess would be over..
at this point, both sides are in a losing scenario and since you asked i will give you an honest answer.
personally, i would sue.. its the dumbest thing to do giving money to the lawyers, but once someone started threatening my business whether i was right or wrong in the first place, i have to defend what is mine.
however, i am stubborn to the point of being stupid so i wouldnt recommend what i just typed..
maybe what one solution would be is to have shoehorn paid, the thread deleted and everyone moves on and its dropped..
sometimes when you lose you actually win and sometimes when you win you actually lose and sometimes you neither lose or win but you put it behind you and walk away..
