OK, Ok...Anything can be confused over an email, over the phone, even face to face. So, I can't say for certain the Mr. Whitefeather has absolutely been wrong about whether Paul was going to pick up his animals or not (although it is the sellers responsibility to make SURE the buyer is satisfied...remember customer service???).
My one complaint with Mr. Whitefeather is when he said Paul could get a refund AFTER the animals were sold to someone else! Sorry, Sir, you don't get to make that call. You offered a refund as one of your options, it is clear that Paul wants his money back, he has given you his address, and NOW you OWE him the his $2000! If you do not pay him immediately, you will be deserving of the title "Bad Guy," and it may well be that criminal charges could be brought against you. You have certainly provided an ample supply of evidence here.
As for all of this stuff about Bob Clark, reputable man that he is, he is not the standard of right and wrong. It is entirely possible for someone to owe Bob Clark money and NOT be in the wrong on another deal. I'm definitely NOT siding with Whitefeather on this deal, but all of this other stuff has no bearing except to show a lack of credibility, and we have more than enough to draw that conlcusion as it is. Maybe it's time to stop with the "big names" now?
Finally, if "Whitefeather" is not your real name, do me a favor and pick another alias. As a Native American, I find your behavior and the slime it brings to all natives by the use of that name offensive. When you were talking about how your daughter was keeping you from taking care of business, I was tempted to ask of what nation you were, because I couldn't believe that SOMEONE wouldn't help you! But now that I know you're of the Wannabe Clan, it all makes perfect sense!
