He sent me a PM. Let's just say that he was willing to pay up, but I let his ass off with a warning about his mouth writing checks his ass couldn't cash without getting himself into a tight spot. I don't want to be accused of being the reason he can't get his essentials. But I better not hear any tales of partying or drinking or bowl trips on here from him. If he is that tight for cash, he doesn't need to be spending it on booze.
True, I guess, but the "people who do the hiring and firing" have their own authority to answer to. In other words, it's not a decision entirely in their control.
