- tysam_and 4y agoThis is a fascinating line of emails. I am somewhat astounded of how terribly Mike handled the sportsmanship side of things -- what was he threatening to sue over, anyways? Someone who successfully paid him $100 and had respectfully inquired for the prize? I do not handle people who act in such a volatile and aggressive manner well, especially if so spontaneously. I appreciate Patrick for having good sportsmanship, keeping the situation calm, not re-engaging, then publishing the exchange for everyone to see. I recently had an exchange like this where someone blew up at me in a very toxic manner over a text-based medium, and having the messages saved certainly helped from an accountability standpoint. Thank you again for sharing this anecdote, it was very interesting.
