Treating that person like you are "King" would be a mistake.

That would be like hiring an architect for your house, then treating them like a taxi driver. Probably not a good idea, and definitely an unprofessional attitude.

"when the job and the results are not done correctly"

I have to ask... Are you providing detailed requirements up front, or are you pushing an waterfall / scope-creep project on someone, then expecting them to be psychic? Once they deliver the bound-to-be-wrong project, you get to wave your "King Stick" at them and tell them how they messed up. Good one.
I know we dont get on so well voodoo. But I have to applaud your words.
And I wholeheartedly agree with what you say.

LIsten razorsharpe. Im sorry for the way i spoke to you. I get literally 30 seconds to answer emails sometimes. I'm guilty as charged. I should have treated you with more politeness. I accept your a great guy all round and i've made an error.
