For me if someone is honest about it and simply says "I don't have any money to pay you right now. I'm sorry I plan to pay you <date>" I can accept that. Likewise if the company is declaring Chapter 7 bankruptcy and will be leaving the internet industry entirely I can also accept that. But what really pisses me off is when someone tries to blame me for them not paying me and tries to say that it is because I am cheating them when I am not. It then becomes personal to me. I'm usually a pretty nice guy and understanding but I couldn't rule out doing something like posting flyers in their neighborhood about them being a scumbag or something of that nature. I'm sure there are people out there far worse. Thankfully the latest debacle will not get me though it bothers me to see good people getting screwed.
Yeah, Definitely don't fuck with people. If you really can't pay (as opposed to being greedy), you can't pay. But that doesn't mean you have to be disrespectful about it.
