[Noisebridge-discuss] Roombas for HSB?

[steve camuti]

Dear Noisebridgers,

I am not a fan of publicizing private events nor am I a fan of
needless conflict, but I see no other realistic resolution to my
current situation with another noisebridge member than to bring our
business interaction that started on a discuss posting, into public
light.
Please feel free to respond to the list (If you think even more
traffic is a good thing) or me personally for more tactful approaches
I may take.

The message I sent 2 weeks ago:

Hi Meredith.
    I am feeling really frustrated and taken advantage of by you. You
asked for help making some cool hacking toys manifest in a foreign
country and I agreed to help make magic happen. And then you responded
with a promise to look into what happened with the delivery. And it
has been a month. And I don't have any more information today than I
did a month ago. Nor do I have any money. You are being far less than
excellent to me and our agreement. If something came up, it is your
job to tell me. If you need more time to get money, it is your job to
tell me. Any way I look at it you are failing to uphold your end of
the bargain.

Annoyed. Frustrated and broke-
steve
