I have mixed feelings about this post... But here I go:
I will drop my support for h4ns's flag and exchange my negative tag on GP's trust page by a different negative tag because h4ns withdrew his claim. I feel that when a flag has been dropped by the flag creator, i no longer have the right to keep supporting the flag or tag, since withdrawing a flag more or less means that h4ns was reimbursed or forgave GP (unless he tells us otherwise).
However, i still believe my initial support for this flag was correct. I read h4ns's topic and to the best of my knowledge, i tought it was valid.
I am not a lawyer, and i'm not interested in discussing wether or not an e-mail is to be considered to be a written contract (or not), or that mixing the word "donation" into the conversation results in making every payment a donation (or not).
As I said: i'm not a lawyer, it's perfectly possible that in a court of law GP's statement would hold, however, my gut feeling tells me these are all semantics, and i believed there was some kind of agreement between GP and h4ns, and GP did not honour said agreement thus deserved a flag and a tag, no matter how hard he tried to focus on the semantics to find a loophole that would prove his "innocence".
But, like i said, the withdrawal of h4ns more or less forces me to withdraw my support... I still wouldn't trust GP with a single penny, the way he handles all criticism tells me i never want to be a client of his company, and leads me to believe he'll be able to weasel his way out of any commitment he makes.
