Warning: Xuxa

You're both as 'childish' (to use your words) as each other. This is a private matter between Seb and Xuxa with no need to bring this out into the public eye. So, Xuxa has trouble keeping to a deadline. Lesson learned, next time hire someone else if you're desperately needing the job done asap. There are tonnes of other coders who can keep to a deadline and you can find those without hitting Xuxa's otherwise good reputation on here.

You paid $21 and dragged the issue out for 3 weeks. For what, an hour's billable work? To be honest it seems you should have just cut your ties with Xuxa after a couple of days (ie, the missed first deadline) gotten a refund (forcibly or not) and be done with it. I'm sure both you and he would have been happier without this episode.

I don't usually get involved with topics like this but there seems to be somewhat of a trend recently to come here complaining about the most minor of incidents. Hire a real honest professional (and pay for that luxury) or be prepared to be bitten once or twice. But if you do get bitten, learn from that!
