Stick to your guns... Dont change the price just because of a comment.
I wasn't commenting to insult him - just to make him aware his price was way off. And he agreed with me.
I used to run an 80,000 user website when rates were $30CPM. Needless to say the company went bankrupt in the dot com crash.
I know... But, these entrepreneurs need to go through the ups and downs of business and to "crack" so quickly due to a comment, doesnt show much backbone.
Your comment was spot on... His reply was transparent, which is a bit sad. But its a learning process and I hope he does well
