Further to a few threads about a producer who I'd had some huge issues with, I've now got a bit of an issue.
It's been suggested that because I lost so much time and money on this guy, and because I'm not the first this has happened to, I should warn as many people as possible as to what happened so they don't fall into the same trap.
On the plus side:
-It'd save time and money for a lot of people.
-It'd show him that he's not some big star and that he should have treated me a little better.
On the other side-
-It may make me look jealous or arrogant.
-It would take ages to talk to everyone who he may come into contact with.
What to do?

Let others come to you, and if they ask, then be discreet and tell them what you think to them alone without being mean-spirited.
If you kick off a public spat, you will be the one who looks bad. |

If you write disparaging remarks about this guy which can be disproven you may have a libel suit on your hands. The validity of any such suit is secondary. Cost in both time, money and your own reputation must be considered. |

I'll be sure and avoid that guy...looked at your link! I've become rather picky about producers, anyway. Had my time wasted by people who said they knew their business, but didn't, and so am hyper-aware of what I like and don't like, anymore.
