You're both in the wrong. I think you overreacted, but I sure as Hell think he did too.But honestly, if that 15k is accurate... well, when's the last time you spent 15k with DE -- business is business, and if he thinks you'll cost him more money than you'll make him, suppose that's all the reason he needs. Again though, I think it's a bit much (although I do think it was unnecessary to be so public, but whatever, it happens -- don't feel too bad about it).
