No, actually it's not the "END OF DISCUSSION!!!!"  & " umm, well obviously" I did read her post.    You did not read mine. 

  My point, once again, is that it's her business to run her business any way she sees fit.   As for decency & phone calling, my experience has been that when a company has no intention of paying me for my work, it doesn't really matter if I call, or email, or telegraph, or even show up in person. They  just flat out are not going to pay me & all the dog ate my homework excuses about lost invoices & general office chaos don't work for me either. 

She posted her complaint here & the company has, I think, posted something to the effect that they dropped her due to lack of E&O coverage.  I am not interested in the particulars of their arrangements.  She has a right to post & they have a right to drop her & you have a right, I suppose, to savage her in public.  That's all.
