I wouldn't say I'm standing strong for this breeder or bashing on Josh. Personally having only one side of a story and no knowledge of what sort of buyer Josh is or what breeder he's not happy with, I don't think I personally know enough to form that opinion.
All I am saying is we don't know if this breeder thought Josh was a serious buyer or had made a "serious inquiry". I'm not comfortable with members saying a breeder, named or not, is "scum" because of one incident, with one buyer that we only have one side of the story on.
What I am trying to do with my participation in this thread is suggest that there are two sides to every story, and present some reasons that this breeder might not have immediately complied with Josh's request for more pics.
As far as the "interesting position" Josh, I will simply not make a statement of fact about what I would do given a situation I've never been in and have no real knowledge or experience in the dynamics of the situation. For me, that's an assumption and I don't use assumptions when talking about anyone or their reputation for customer service.
