You say you're not defending him, and then you go into full-on defense mode. Sorry, but that's funny.
You keep saying this to people. At some point the shitty "one-side of the story" stories that come out about Hervey really should start adding up.
I think you missed the part (twice) where I said I tried that already. It doesn't work with him.
Anyway, I don't really have an interest in turning this thread into justification as to why Hervey is terrible to do business with. I put my warning out there and others have had similarly nasty experiences with him. If you want to roll the dice with him that's your business. I wouldn't recommend it. *shrug*
