"agreed to disagree" ya after you spend an entire day bashing his business and he doesnt want to waste anymore time on you.

"very busy people" to busy to transfer over a $14.95 virtual account that was so important to you?

mistakes were made on both ends? lets point out the obvious:

- you had a week to transfer your files you chose not to
- both your phone numbers on the account were disconnected
- after talking on the phone with him you call him an asshole and tell him and his staff to "fuck off"
- they end up having your stuff on backup and help you out

but wait again "istakes were made on both of our ends"

if they are so solid why start a huge thread bashing their entire business over a $14.95 virtual account. that sure puts things into perspective about what type of person you are for the rest of us. so soon as things dont go your way a little bit you throw 7 quality years out of the window.

clairty in calling him an asshole
clarity in telling him and his staff to fuck off
clarity in providing bad publicity for his company after YOUR obvious mistakes
clarity in having the thread removed because it made you look pathetic

so your phone numbers are disconnected with them
you overlook support tickets from them
o and now "it would change things entirely"

so companies should manage their business on your time when you decide to "put the move on the backburner"

o so it should be on your timeline.

$14.95 virtual account sure sounded important in that thread. you spent a day on it. if it was so important again how did "the move get put in the backburner"

o so it's their fault you moved states and dont keep your phone number up to date? o so they should have your ICQ number on file even though you admittedly "overlooked" things. it is their job to keep track of you even though your number is disconnected?

yep THEY should be more communicative even though you addmitedly overlooked a support ticket and your phone numbers are disconnected.

no really? they are just supposed to host you for free?

yep because they are the FBI and it is their job to track you down

wait? backburner? i thought it was so important that you made a thread bashing his business and staff? but hey "it was on the backburner"

you pick up the phone? why should YOU pick up the phone?
i mean your $14.95 virtual account should involve support from them such as investigative tracking tactics and or selling their soul to you.

how we perceive you? well it is kind of obvious you are just an amazing client and easy to do business with.

and now you mention integrity after bashing and swearing at his staff. man you just have tons of "integrity"

-----------

CLIFF NOTES:

- doesnt keep his phone numbers up to date and makes it sound like it was YOUR FAULT when you cant get ahold of him
- goes on a tirade even after you give him a week to do the backup
- goes basaltic over a $14.95 virtual account which he pretends to care so much about even though he had over a week to transfer files
- slams you on GFY and calls you an asshole after a phone conversation
- tells you and your staff to "fuck off"
- has thread removed when he starts to look bad
