Normally people ask, why you did that rather than that, or how would you proceed with this. And I would love to explain everything, but when someone starts with "I will leave you a negative feedback and why would I do something for you for free or above the contract", without any commitment to solve the situation or just ask, I do not like that attitude, and my conversation will be strict business.
I think I emphasized (twice!) that I expected that there was some rational explantion and that I look forward to hearing it. So, in a very concrete way, I did not start with "I will leave you negative feedback...". In fact, I started with the expectation that all would be explained.
I'm still confused though:
1) you expect people to advertize for free in a kind of "holding period" until you say go?
2) When was your official "start" date?
3) How do you acount for the free advertizing you're demanding during the time between when people sign up and add the advert and whenever your start date appears?
Looking back through this thread, there does seem to be an effort to extract free advertizing, for example:
So basically, folks who said they were interested, but who weren't going to advertize for free while waiting for the "start" were being chastized for this. Hmmm.
Finally, forum history shows that I aded your signature on on: October 07, 2014, 03:23:11 PM (in my TZ). Today is 15 Oct (in my TZ) so your suggestion to pay for "6 days" isn't really intuitive. I've been wearing your ad for 8 days and counting ...
I think I should also emphasize that I'm still not clear when the official "start" is supposed to happen?!
