He wasn't just rude.

He said that they had no right to re-sell his ring.

He told me that no other designer would ever swap the stone on their ring.

I said they already have for me, including his competitor.

He asked who, I wouldn't release his name.

Then he basicallly said he didn't believe me and asked why he would do it because it doesn't make them any money.

I said yes it did, I paid him for his services and I'm having him make me a matching band and I'll come back to him again and again for other projects in the future and send others to him as well.

He said he didn't need my business and that he had plenty of other customers.

At that point I told him he needed some TACT but that I was sure he has heard that before.

His response was that he was going to pretend he didn't hear that.

There are other things he said in the conversation that were worse than that but not directed towards me, but I'll have to listen to the call again to make sure I heard correctly. I'll have to consult my father who is an attorney on whether or not I should post that part, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with posting the truth, especially when I have a recorded converation to prove it.

I hold grudges, never forgive, never forget.

If he and I cross paths in another situation, I won't help him.

Love it!

Oh yes, sorry! I thought by now everyone had figured out which one it was.

Since it's on hold for me at GOG and there's no danger of someone sniping it, it's Wintotty's ring (soon to not be a Leon Mege anymore once I or someone else swaps the stone):

Get the ring my dear! Have someone else modify it and give LM a call and tell him that it's MUCH better now

Just kidding, don't do the second part.... Maybe summarize your experience in vendors to avoid forum? I think it would be appropriate because he was supposed to be your vendor.

I'm surprised that pissing his wealthy clients hasn't gotten him in more trouble already. Go get him girlfriend!


Edit: I'm trying to put myself in your shoes. If a vendor called me a liar or said he would like to sue me I would give him an ear fulllllllllllll. Or I would freeze up in shock and awe and then think about it for days, "awww I should have said this or this!"
