If you are so high and mighty on your principals you would be taking care of the person your had an agreement with. Everyone here saw how excited he was to be working with you and he was hussling business for your program at the same time.
You in fact made a thread with a big speech about how the designer deserved to get paid a % instead of a flat fee up front and how you always take care of your models blah blah blah.
Anyhow, it really doesn't matter what I say to you. You seem to have made your decision and everyone here can come to their own conclusions. Only thing is, either you can't see it or you don't care but you are the one that's going to come out of this looking like the asshat. Your actions were everything but the right ones in each given situation.

Guess what.... Fletch still gets 25% of the NCG alternate tour he made for me ON TOP OF being paid $500 for it.
I challenge you to find EVEN ONE other webmaster that is doing that for a designer.
