$55 should mean a lot to everyone. Seriously, would you start throwing $55 away at random because it's not a lot? If so, then please throw it my way. My paypal is info [ a t ] circle [ d o t ] [ c o ] [ d o t ] [ n z ]

Each time you think "$55 that's nothing, how petty", then please think of me.

Seriously, it is the principle of the matter. Money is money, and if someone does not deserve it then they should not have a right to keep it.

This just shows that to be successful in freelancing, you not only have to have good technical skills (coding, design, etc), but have good business relations and manners as well. Otherwise, you'll screw things up early and your rep goes down the drain.

This also brings up a question... Should people like this (who have been accused of bad business practice more than once) be banned from this forum? I mean, why would anybody want a scammer around?

They should be banned, only if proven though. Simply being accused of scamming and getting banned is like people being guilty before innocent.
