I'm confused on something, if I'm correct, after having started on the work he was doing for you, and showing you the work, you decided you wanted revisions. After that WhatInsomina offered to completely refund you OR for you to wait until he felt up to try and re-tackle your work, and you chose the wait option, is this correct?
Did you expect him to postpone all artwork of all types until he had finished your piece when you both refused a refund and agreed to wait on it? I guess I'm just confused because you seem to be aggravated by the fact that he still did his weekly streams (work separate from his commissions) and that he continued work on other waiting and incoming commissions until he was ready to tackle yours again, when you agreed with him that the commission could be postponed for a bit.
It's really not uncommon or even strange for an artist to work on less stressful commissions in between harder ones, so I don't see why you seem to be holding him doing this as something so personal and like it's some sort of an attack against you, to the point of berating him so much about it. Again especially after you specifically agreed that you would be okay with waiting.
Just speaking as an artist here, but making some pieces isn't always as easy as just snapping ones fingers. Some pieces are going to end up being a lot more of a struggle, especially when they have an added amount of stress to them.
And I've got to say, reading the full screencaps you posted, they are definitely not doing you any favors in how you are treating and talking to the artist. At first I was going to be a bit more on the fence about how the artist spoke, but seeing how you talk at them, guilt them, and throw wild accusations at them I'm really not surprised they responded as aggravated as they did. This is not to say WhatInsomnia did not make mistakes, but the way you are shown acting start to finish here is to be honest manipulative and damn near abusive.
That said, when an artist says No to posting it on a site, you are not obligated to a reason why, the answer is simply that, no. Rather than harassing them until you get the answer you want, you should respect the artist and accept their answer. There is no excuse for how you acted towards WhatInsomnia after you got 'No' as an answer.
And finally, according to what and who is this person harassing you on your page connected to WhatInsomnia? I'm assuming that since you are making the claim they were SENT by the artist you have some means of showing this?
