The beauty and curse of the Internet.  20 million people - 20 million
different points of view - 20 million people willing to defend them
any way they can.

It's my belief that if customers pay you for a service, you should
offer them a professional attitude, which doesn't mean 'happy' but
does mean polite up until the point at which they don't deserve it.

It may well be that in the case we're discussing, this is exactly what
happened - none of us bar the two involved will ever know.

However, if you're providing something for free, then I don't think
you have that hanging over you.

It's my belief you still have some obligation as human being to be
polite up until the point at which they don't deserve it, but that's
just me, I don't expect others to see it that way.
