I don’t believe this is meant to be a ‘smear campaign’ at all.

He is upset about that fact that he delivered something and was promised payment, whether it took him 20 mins or 2 years doesn’t matter the fact that it was delivered as originally stated then payment must be made.

From a business point of view, he delivered and payment must be made.

Next time perhaps you should define points better beforehand.

It makes bad business sense and unethical Nostr vibes to not pay him as you have stated above.

Let’s not divide Nostr over this.
