I would like Ben to produce facts, because throwing claims like this around can do real damage. Doing so without facts on the table is downright irresponsible, assuming noble intent.
I will throw down facts of my own: MWP paid promptly in full each time that Rob did work for them. What's more, when I managed to misplace the check, they hunted us down and reissued, because it mattered to them to do the right thing.
And that's the thing. This is a very small company, run by extremely decent and caring people - the sort who, if something were amiss, would really want to know so that they could fix it and then would probably be terribly upset on behalf of the folks who had an issue. The idea that claims like this are out there without facts on the table is downright cruel, since they're now going to spin in circles trying to find a wrong to right with no specific wrong brought to light for them to make better. That doesn't seem an ethical thing to do.
When you make statements like this about a company this small without real data to substantiate it, you are effectively hurting good and real people.
Please don't. It's not actually helpful.
