Thanks, Barrett - I could go on a rant about the situation I was in 2 years ago, even 1 year ago, but why bother - it is a waste of energy and time.

I cerntainy do not intend to put anyone I hire again in the situation that I put you in - maybe for selfish reasons, because that would mean that I put myself in that situation, again - something I have promised not to do to myself, or my children, ever, again.

If you haev any questions, comments, or just want to shoot the shit, let me know.

I can certainly take down the ED page and will do that soon, but I have to put a condition on that due to ethical considerations, as the other intent of that was to warn others who might run into the same problem as I did - please assure me that in the future, no matter what you may do in the course of your projects and no matter how you deal with other businessmen or investors or other people with money, you'll be extraordinarily careful not to put other young writers in a position where they might spend a great deal of time doing work for you and then not be paid when they'd expect to be paid. Like a lot of other young writers, I was making just enough money to get by at that point, and not getting that money basically set in motion a chain of events that put me in debt and otherwise screwed up my finances (and other things) for basically six months. $900 isn't a whole lot of money to most people, but I'd depended on that to pay my rent and buy groceries for a whole month, and of course would have been pursuing other projects in that time if I'd known that the money wasn't going to revive at any point soon. I know you didn't intend for this to happen and simply couldn't raise the money you'd thought you be able to raise; please just be more careful about this sort of thing in the future when dealing with writers.

Thanks,

Barrett

Great writing - you do crack me up.

The check went out today.

So, dare I even ask about the ED page? Ultimately, as you know, it is all up to you. Let me know if you want to talk about it.

You've got a funny way with words - like the description of your life at the moment. Actually up north right now, getting ready to head south again, something about biking in snow doesn't appeal to me.

Very busy, been working my ass of trying to get this conservative pundit Robert Stacy McCain exposed as a neo-Nazi, which has put me into this surreal alliance with Charles Johnson, the fellow who broke Rathergate and formerly the best-regarded of conservative bloggers (until it turned out that he wasn't that conservative). It's been a bizarre couple of weeks.

How about you? Still down south?

I was going to send it out today - so I will get it to your NY address instead. Should be there Tues or Wed (?).

Thanks Barrett. How is the writing gig going? Staying busy?

Hi, Tony-

Did you already send the check to that address? If so, disregard this; otherwise, can you have it sent to my New York address instead?

It's:

37 Park Street #2
Brooklyn, NY

Thanks,

Barrett - I was the one who did wrong - intentional or not, and I apologize for that - though, I must agree, you were a bit immature - but it was justified, you felt you had no choice and you were angry. I understand - I have been there.

No, live in New York, but I use that P.O. box since I move around.

I feel bad about having threated and you and otherwise acting in an immature manner, but I've had problems getting paid several times before.

Haven't received it yet - Unless there are complications with Paypal, I will pay it as soon as I receive the request - I tried to send it through a new account I set up using the hotmail account, but it will only let me add funds through an account, and pay with that because the account is new - apparently, and that will take 3-5 days to complete.

If it ends being the hassle that it appears to be - one of the reasons I do not use Paypal, I will just have my bank send you a check to the address I have on file for you - which will take 2-3 days for you to receive.

Yes, $900 will close our accounts.

I just sent a Paypal request to the hotmail account.

On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 8:26 PM, Tony Anglesey <tanglesey@gmail.com> wrote:

OK - So 900 and the invoice is paid, correct?

Send the Paypal request to tanglesey@hotmail.com - not the gmail acct. It is making me set up an account, because of the dollar amount, I suppose -

If not, I can wire the funds into your account tomorrow, or have my bank send you a check.

Looks like it was actually for about $900, as noted below. I'll send a paypal request soon.

Barrett - I apologize, I am no t(or did mean to appear to be) ignoring you, I have been completely overwhelmed attempting to put this back together. I will get you your check, I beleive it was for about 900 and change - as soon as I can, but I will not be able to do so for about another 30 days or so.

Again, I sincerely apologize, and did not mean for this to happen - I will be in touch.
