So I have a vetting process. I don't take 'Problem' clients or projects. And i'm quite good at spotting what's a good gig to take and what i want to avoid.
From your initial email to your replies. I could see the 'Blow-up-ability' was strong with you...
Linking to zuzanna (or any other designers work). Well that itself doesn't bother me. But it gives me a hint that perhaps you have worked with other designers before. And generaly a good client and a good designer will stay together. A client that is jumping from designer to designer...They worry me.
And you also linked me to younglegalporn.com as a design example. While it may be legal content (i dont know the program so I cant comment). That itself set off another red flag in my 'Don't wanna work with this guy' radar....
And as can be seen by your creation of this very thread. I was right.. working with you would not have been a pleasant exp for me.
And im sorry you took my words so badly.

Anna,
I have worked with the same designer since 2004 (and the same programmer since 2002), but unfortunately he is on vacation which is the ONLY reason why I have been emailing designers to get this particular job done. Even if I had hired you, it would have been for this one job only.
There is something inherently wrong with your radar if it isn't taking ALL things into consideration before jumping to conclusions.
I have worked with several people; MaDalton, Konrad, Devin from GTS, Richard from adultcontent UK, Parney from cybercats just to name a few, and I have dealt with some of those for years. I have not had a single issue with them even when things have gone wrong because I have the capacity to deal with issues like an adult. There is no 'Blow-up-ability' so in this respect, you're just talking a load of rubbish.
The creation of this thread doesn't mean you were right, the general consensus as far as I can see, is that you were wrong. Wrong in the way you handled a client, wrong with your petty nature, wrong to have a chip on your shoulder and more importantly wrong to think that you are better than you actually are.
You can justify your actions any bloody way you like, but in the court of public opinion, you have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting!
