I'll bet if he did you wouldn't have to ponder what you need to do in this situation, he'd make the decision for you and never use your services again. His e-mail spelled things out quite clearly for you and he was being quite nice to you. In return what you did was simply wrong.

In my business I have many high profile clients... If I ever posted anything personal from them as you did it would kill my business. What you did shows a complete lack of tact on your part. I guess if that works for you great, but I believe good business is built on trust.


Geez, why don't you tell us how you really feel. I find that a bit dramatic. We're not talking highly confidential info or sharing secrects about a rocket launch here, it's a gig for Pete's sake. Your business is totally different as you say " high profile clients."

Bill for one I'm glad you posted that e-mail and question. If I were in your shoes, I would have posted just as you have. When I read your question I had no idea on how I would have handled it. It's certainly a judgement call and I would have been a bit undecided which way to go. But now that the facts are out and other's have commented. It seems that number 3 is the way to go, I would have taken that advice myself. Best wishes.
