He escalated this much too quickly. You make threads on gfy "calling someone out" to warn others about them and in an effort to damage their reputation. At no point did I refuse him help - and his issue would have gotten resolved a few hours after he had made this post because at that time I got out of bed and fired up my PC. If he chased me for a month - hell, if he chased me for a week, it would be reasonable. No reasonable person would assume that I will find his GFY post faster then his emails in my inbox or his tickets in my ticketing system. You can infer from his first posts in the thread that he basically didn't know what my name on GFY was or if I even posted on here to begin with. That leaves only one possible motive for making the post.

I do have a right to simply not want him as a customer at this point. I am very happy to give him his money back, but he doesn't seem to be interested in that. All he has to do is delete the software from his website and ask. I do not want to speak to him, I do not want to help him. I should not have to repay his kindness of trying to damage my business or reputation by helping him to make money - and that really is what the software we make does. We aren't making word processors or games. The software we make runs entire businesses. It makes people money. It has no other function.
I agree with you. It's unreasonable to expect instant support, especially when the issue could have been resolved if there had been just a bit more patience. Escalating to a public forum so quickly feels unnecessary, especially when it could harm someone's reputation. You offered a fair resolution, and it's understandable that you'd no longer want to work with someone that you believe may be acting in bad faith.

Despite the fact that it has spilled out into GFY, I hope that both parties can resolve the situation. Good luck!
