The whole relationship with dagogo was very informal with no contracts, and no strict "business only" orders about the dagogo email account.
Of course I only used the account for procuring reviews and corresponding with industry for the first few months, then eventually other correspondence creeps in which shouldn't be an issue, and was never an issue until the account was closed without my knowledge.
Now of course, the only aspect of this I can have any complaints about whatsoever is that I didn't receive the courtesy of an email letting me know.
It all comes down to that, and if I had been told, nothing else would have mattered.
Now you can't imagine anything other than Constantine perhaps forgetting to let me know/ neglecting to tell me, which he could in all fairness claim, but he didn't claim this.
He basically told me it was two weeks since I sent my email letting him know I was resigning, and he was entitled to close the account.
If we'd parted on bad termss then fair enough, I couldn't complain, but he gave the impression we didn't which is the whole point.
When he then let me know that in his opinion I had 'broken a pledge to work for him indefinitely", ask yourself again if you think he could only have forgotten to let me know the account was to be closed.
Bear in mind that one of the first Dagogo reviewers resigned on apparently good terms with Constantine, then Constantine emailed the remaining reviewers bad mouthing that reviewer to such a degree that another reviewer resigned in disgust and I among others considered joining him.
I bring this up not to throw mud, but to demonstrate that Constantine takes it personally when anyone leaves Dagogo and bears a grudge, as this has to be considered when suggesting he might have innocently forgotten to let me know of the closing of the account.
As it is, every email sent to that address will now be opened and read by Constantine - he's told me this himself as apparently he has to open the mail to know who it was sent to.
If you believe this was an innocent mistake on Constantine's part then there's no objective evidence to the contrary to prove otherwise, I just know from his attitude and reactions that this is not so.
I've fallen out and argued with many, many individuals over the years on the Asylum especially but have never, ever born a grudge and have the utmost respect for virtually everyone I've locked horns with, but I recognise exactly Constantine's character as I've encountered it many times in other walks of life.
