The biggest mistake the artist made in this was not telling Magnus to go his hardest with AB after having offered a refund or to wait, and Magnus made the choice.

This behaviour absolutely crosses the line. It is very unfortunate that Magnus appears to think that his behaviour is perfectly acceptable and appropriate. From the response posted below, I feel even more certain this commissioner should be avoided, or, failing that, only artists ready and able to deal with the behaviour work with him. I have a 0 tolerance policy for abuse. If people act in an abusive or inappropriate manner with me, they do not get rewarded for it. I would have simply issued a refund once the inappropriate comments started, or, if justified (consistent with any written agreements etc), just stopped making edits and told the commissioner to go his hardest with AB or court if that's what floats his boat and then blocked him. This controlling behaviour is simply not on. I would have to work very hard not to tear strips off any commissioner for trying to control my intellectual property by telling me where I should and shouldn't upload it.

Beware very well warranted.
