It seems to me that if your work is good and you're not too much of a prick, you shouldn't have much of a problem with being on a BlackBall list....( Why are you so up-in-arms about this ??? ) Cable is a small world....It won't take long for bad news about an individual or company to get around...I, for one, am just fine with word getting around about a person or company that is gonna end up costing me my reputation or money in the long run.. It's kinda the same as if someone stole your tools---Would you let a friend hire him or would you give him a "Heads-Up"??
I dunno---Maybe it's just me who thinks this way.......
