I discovered Thorne yesterday; now I can't do anything else.

If Simon had any sense he would have stfu from the word go, and kept away from the guy. He obviously didn't and can't, and this is the result. Plus, his business ideas sound seriously lame. Now there's an article in The Age making the whole problem for him even bigger. LULZ

I'm still just amazed at the knack that David apparently has for attracting complete idiots. Either they're a lot more common than I had assumed, or David puts a lot of work into tracking down fodder for 27bslash6.

Jeez. I also googled Simon and this was the 1st Stop! He's missing a great opportunity… somewhere.
This has also saved me having to think too hard about whether he's an idiot or not. I just realised I don't care.
David Thornes deleted twitter post thickens the stew tho…. We all love a mystery ay?

Old news, I know; but I just came across this today (being somewhat of an old fella) and so decided to comment anyway: this whole issue surrounds a posting from a person who is known for other humorous stories involving ping-pong correspondence. So (especially given that deep down inside I don't really give a toss anyway), I would give Edhouse the benefit of the doubt. Even trial by internet should surely include the presumption of innocence?

If Simon had any sense, he would have said from the beginning"No idea where this came from or why he did it; haven't talked to the guy in x years. Trying to get a hold of him now…"or"I did make a logo request, I do owe him money, and our conversation was on casual terms…I wasn't expecting that reaction, and I would have happily discussed paying him something if he had just said 'hey, I worked hard on the last logos, can you pay me up front this time?' But he decided to turn a simple business request into a blog post by baiting me."orPost his copy of the email thread to prove the fraud.However:Simon *is* loving the drama and attention. The fact that he can't PR his way out of this very simple situation of internet detractors doesn't bode well for his business sense.

Manic, I'd say Edhouse exists – got an email from him, and I can't really see Thorne going to the trouble of sending a fake email to one random person as who made a Twitter comment on this whole exchange.Quite bizarre.

I took that as a joke myself. Edhouse clearly exists.

Did anyone else see this tweet from David come through on their feed?http://www.flickr.com/photos/41271855@N03/4144142...The original tweet was deleted, but the URL was http://twitter.com/27bslash6/statuses/6164879025 according to my TwitterFox add-on for Firefox.

"I… will respond to the satire on David's site in due course. "I will continue to wait patiently. We have weekends here, too.
