With all due respect, you can't take legal action against somebody for slander for complaining that you failed to uphold your part of a contract, even if it wasn't necessarily your fault or was unavoidable due to the circumstances.

As I said, I'm not here to take sides or to accuse you of being a bad person. I understand how stressful the situation you're in at the moment must be, because I have a close family member who I've been supporting recently who is going through a similar situation. My heart goes out to you and I genuinely wish you all the best in these proceedings.

I've also not come here to play PM ping-pong - I only come to see if I could resolve this situation and potentially resolve any further escalation. Quite why anybody would "scam" someone for $20 for forum posting is beyond me, so I thought I'd reach out because I thought there must be more to this situation.

I now understand there are wider issues at play here and that you feel disrespected by Scorpion's accusation, but I also have to highlight to you that Scorpion probably felt disrespected at the time the agreement was not followed through with, despite your current situation. With all due respect, that's not his problem. You also have to consider that I don't believe English is Scorpion's fluent language, so there is the potential for a slight breakdown or misunderstanding in communication at times.

Anyhow, as I said, I just want a resolution. Are we going to be able to find an amicable resolution to this situation?
