Tip: the more personally you are involved in some dispute, the more careful you have to be to be crisp and understated when describing it. This would be much more convincing if it weren't so rambling. As it is, I read it and think "I don't know the rights and wrongs of this particular situation, but I could easily imagine that this guy would be a huge pain in the ass to deal with."

Clearly he's a bit of a donkey. He has multiple exits yet is still broke. He put himself in a situation where this could happen, which is ridiculous in and of itself. And rather than doing the proper thing (suing someone who seems to be clearly in the wrong and violating numerous laws) he's blogging about it and exposing himself to legal action.

To put it another way, there's no way I would hire this clown.

Well thats going on it a bit harsh, dont you think. First of all, we havent heard Virtual PBX's side of the story, so we can't really take sides, but if he's telling the truth it indeed has been horrible and he should indeed sue.

In fact, I really don't get why he's not suing, unless of course, he's lying.

Yep, I think just naming the facts in 2 or 3 paragraphs would have been much more effective. Now he looks kind of 'crazy' and rambling about it.

But yeah, what Brian describes sucks. If it's all true the way he told it, poor guy.
