I rarely hesitate to throw the first stone. I am much more of the OT
than the new. But I think a blacklist should be a personal thing. I
still have a plan to put up a "shame_on_you" directory (an aside, a
friend just carried about 30 boxes of no-run pantyhose up to his 4th
floor apartment, grabbed a beer, turned on the tv and sat on the
couch. And there on the screen was a shame on you expose of this new
no-run pantyhose that he had just schlepped. He still went out the
next morning to sell them outside a subway stop and he said every now
and then someone would point a finger and say "shame on you" and kill
a sale -- looking back he found it very funny. He ended up sending it
back at a loss). Anyhow...
As I mentioned in a previous repsonse I have been in the same shoes
as Chad. In my case most of the problems stemmed from
communications: more assumptions than certainties, and too much
eagerness on both parties to get the job done before it was decided
what the job was.
I am sure that many people who I might not say something nice about
may have the same opinion of me. Of course I am nearly always in the
right. But I prefer to spare the 9 rather than condemn the 1. Thus
I would not mention every dispute.
When I do put up my "shame_on_you" directory I will have in it the
country of Brazil,Office-Max,a local art gallery that reneged on a
hand-shake agreement, a local web-developer who hasn't paid a bill
(where they will not pay part of a current bill because they say I
did not finish an old job whose invoice they paid and my retort is
that why did they pay the invoice if the job wasn't done and that
they never really knew what the job was anyway - convoluted).
But I think that each person should make his own list and that there
should not be any compilation.
