Before I respond, I do want to point out that I don't have a "natural" side to take here. While Marty has been a consistent troll of mine for the past 10 years, hutmaster has also been quite nasty to me many times (usually in support of Marty), so I'm not salivating to take one side over the other, as you might think.
Questions for Marty:
1) Why was PayPal the only option you were giving to pay him? Couldn't you send a check or money order? Why did you refuse to create the Venmo account he wanted for payment?
2) Just about 100% of people here agree that putting hut through this long wait for the $500 was unreasonable, especially given that he gave you so much help prior to that and wasn't asking to be repaid there. Why do you not understand that his frustration with your slow paying was very reasonable?
3) Can you explain the reason that you outed which business he owns? Anyone can easily find it now with the info you posted. Seems like a crappy thing to have done, even if you two are feuding.
4) Is it possible you accidentally burned the bathtub with cigarettes while drunk, and don't remember? Since you have no history (to my knowledge) with cooking meth, I believe these were likely cigarette burns. I'm on the fence whether or not I think you did it. It's possible that the previous guest did, and the housekeeper just missed it.
Questions for hutmaster:
1) You said that you didn't give Marty comped rooms, but instead bought him 5 nights at a hotel which already owed you money. Why didn't you just buy him 5 nights at the cheapest hotel in town? (This also would have avoided any strain on your relationship with that business if Marty misbehaved there.)
2) While 4 stars on Yelp isn't bad, the bad reviews seem to consistently say that your pizza dough is soggy. That's a fairly uncommon complaint about pizza places -- even bad ones. Do you think you might have a problem regarding your pizza dough being soggy?
3) You say your pizza place has been open 4.5 years. However, you seem to acknowledge the truth in Marty's accusation that you opened the place thanks to an inheritance in early 2016. Did you just buy someone else's place at that point? If so, you can't really take credit for anything the place did before you were involved. More importantly, I'm almost sure you said you owned a pizza place in posts long before 2016. Did you have another pizza place prior to that, which failed?
4) While you unquestionably were very kind and generous to Marty in this situation, you were his biggest defender when he screwed over others in the past. Do you think posting these complaints is a bit hypocritical at this point?
5) Now that the cat is out of the bag, would it bother you if I came down to this pizza place at some point, unannounced, and posted an honest review of the pizza on PFA?
