Agreed.
But having a professional style should apply to all businesses, in my opinion. And in my view going to social media or a public forum to complain, even anonymously, is getting close to a line (not making reference to this case, but the many times on Twitter and here that I see people complain about low ball offers). Also I hate it when people call potential clients low ballers.
@Silentptnr expressed it very well:
If there was a NamePros 100% agree button I would have used it!
Thanks for initiating to an interesting discussion on a relevant topic,
@equity78, and to all who have contributed. I try to see both sides, but on this one, despite the points well argued, my personal opinion is not changed. IF the situation was that a lander clearly expressed a minimum amount, and they were working around that through other forms of contact, I can see the complaint.
Anyway, I think I'm out, having already taken up too much of the space in this discussion.
