Someone I'm dealing with and his backpedaling, unprofessionalness & sexism.
I was just glad he gathered blaming intermediates, along with sexist commentary, is a rather bad idea.
(TLDR when I'm dealing with people I really have no interest in dragging unrelated parties into it, even less when they're just courteous to be doing messengers to both sides. People treating messengers as dirt are on my lifelong shitlist.)
