I'm glad this has been brought up in a public forum, so that I can respond to it for everyone to see.
The machine in question was given to me for a rebuild nearly 3 years ago, if I remember right. The agreement was that I'd rebuild it, notify Kat (the owner of the machine) that it was finished, and she would then pay for the rebuild via Paypal.
I lived up to my end- I took a machine that was barely functioning and turned it into a lean, mean thing of beauty. I sent pictures and a Paypal invoice to Kat, and didn't hear from her. So I texted her and asked if she got the email. "Yeah, I got it. Let me just wait till payday". Several weeks in a row, this was the story. After a while I figured, well, I'll stop being annoying about it. When she's got the money, she'll let me know.
So the machine sat there for months. Eventually I discovered I was moving across the country. So, fine, the machine went in a drawer. By now I've had it about a year, and I've made repeated efforts to find the owner to arrange to get it back to her, with no results.
Finally I decided, fuck this. If I was an auto mechanic I woulda put a lien on this thing and resold it a long time ago. So I got an offer on it from a good friend who taught me to build machines, and got my money finally.
Now another couple years go by- and out of the blue, I get a message from Kat asking for her machine. Uhh... what? No, that's gone, baby. "OH, well can you get it back?" Sure, I'll do you a FAVOR- although you've done me no favors- and see if I can get it back from the dude who bought it after you abandoned it for a year. I asked him, I didn't hear back about it, meanwhile this chick's all up my ass every day about her machine from years ago that she chose to abandon with me.
Finally she sent me some snarky little message copping an attitude, so she went on ignore. Now she can kiss my ass, I won't make even the slightest effort to help somebody if they're gonna be impatient and get all PMS on me about shit that's got nothing to do with me at all.
So, there's the story. The entire story. Far as morals, I never said I have morals. In fact, I probably have much lower moral standards than most people claim to have. But this is definitely not a situation in which my moral fiber is in question at all.
If that doesn't answer your questions adequately, you're welcome to stop by my home at any time to discuss this matter further. My address is available simply by asking me for it through my inbox.
I consider this matter settled unless further facts come to light which I haven't considered yet.
Have a good day, Dan.
