Now that we've had a cooling off period, if it's possible that you can refrain from being psychotic, we might actually get some work done.

"My content has been written for months." That's bullshit. You were asking me nine days ago about letters and words length. You haven't written anything, I've never been provided anything, else you wouldn't asking about it nine days ago, same as last year. You could write, and I would make it work.

As I mentioned before, doesn't matter how loquacious you wish to be. If *you* think you're putting across the message you wish to provide in 1 paragraph, or 7 paragraphs, or 4 or 19 paragraphs any of those lengths is no problem. Just let me see what you're doing ... which, I've never been able to view. As a result of never being able to view, because you haven't written squat, I arbitrarily chose "3 paragraphs" and now you're stuck with them. Make it work. Good For You.

"Maybe designing frameworks for content that varies over time isn't something you can do. If so, perhaps this should be a learning experience for you."
Maybe figuring out what you want to say isn't something you can do. If so, perhaps this should be a learning experience for you. I handle some pretty complex RSS feeds, daily 24/7 updates, content rotation by PHP/SQL picklist randomization. I build sites that generate in a month what you might make happen in a lifetime. My ability ... "isn't something you can do, If so, perhaps this should be a learning experience for you." is about an additional 500 feet beyond the fence outside of your perceptual ballpark. My willingness, however, to deal with knuckleheads, only extends 30 feet towards first base, on a 90 foot stretch. And that, indeed is a very severe shortcoming of mine. Run real fast and beat the throw, or hit a double, in baseball parlance.

This started out as a nice thing to do for you, which you sabotaged once already last year, then it further went haywire after I donated time for a second site for which you can't even create some textual content for your own marketing message. Then you bitch at me that you can't figure out a paragraph length that you could communicate to your clients about ... subject: "bankruptcy", for example. A bankruptcy lawyer can't figure out what to say about 'bankruptcy'? I need this headache in my life? What do you want to say to your audience?

"Maybe what I'm perceiving as a lack of work ethic is just an inability to communicate.
Yeah, like when I say, 'write material' ... and you say, 'How much?' And I say, "whatever it takes that you feel comfortable with your point for your clients.' ... And then you say, 'Oh, you're being too hard on me ... you're making do stuff ... I'm gonna make dirty laundry on a thread that isn't even remotely on the same subject... blah blah... '. Good Heavens, he made me write.

"What I see right now is breach of contract, rising to the level of fraud." Yeah well, serve me something this week. Your only proactive activity has been to whine, but adding service would at least double anything proactive activity that you've ever done. Or, of course, you could just write something and get your site finished.
