My understanding is, and I don't know the facts, you made a clean break,
but people's payments were cleared and orders left unfilled.
If this is true, people don't understand why you did not just do a marathon
label scribbling session, and dump the lot in the post office.

And to clarify, Chris also wrote manuals and contributed to software rather
than being a box shifter. People don't realise or appreciate this.

Chris was by successive amiga companies!
There's a men's toilet urinal with a cistern (water box) which is used as a
fish tank. Each time it is flushed the water goes down, the fish seem to be
in trouble, but the cistern refills.
Chris has been getting annual "don't worry this year it will refill and not
flush again"

Chris is a student, bring plenty beer money.

Chris is not perfect, but if you think about the work to reward ratio you
can understand.
I'm changing my life because "why should I do this for them, for that, it is
not worth it", however (and I don't know the facts about the alleged
contracted for but unfilled orders) I am still fulfilling commitments made.
