Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : okay, for some context, i am a freelance artist who mostly works off of Deviantart (it's not the prettiest place to work, but at this point i'm used to it) and i wanted to make some adoptable characters over the span of thanksgiving break and Christmas break, as the school i work at wouldn't have work, since of course all the kids were gone, and i wanted to make a tiny bit of money on the side. so i made three batches of 12, with two of them coming out thanksgiving and the last batch coming out before Christmas, however where this story gets interesting is with a person who was buying from me, who i am just going to call anon for privacy purposes.   


he had gotten a adopt from each batch, however i initially didn't really like doing business with him too much, as he would only say one word replies. and didn't have any common courtesy to say thank you me when i gave the adopts to him. but that was no reason to not sell to him, so i still gave them to him. the thing is, the way i set up the adopt buying process was that it was an auction, you'd pay me a minimum bid, or larger then that, and then people could bid more money after that. if 24 hours had passed since the latest bid, i'd put the adopt on pending until i got the money, but if you didn't pay me in 24 hours, it'd go back on sale with the bids reset. i did this as i am a busy person and i wouldn't always have the time to go and edit the like, 10 things i would have to show people the adopt was sold, give it to you, and make sure you had a reference sheet and color palate, so it helped to know when i was going to have to do all the editing so i could set time aside for it. but on the last batch, anon had gotten the highest bid on something for the third time, and i told him he had 24 hours to pay for it. no response from him at all. now, 26 hours later, way over the time limit by this point, he sent me the points and didn't even bother to apologize for being late. but the thing is i was going to go out with a friend 10 minutes later, where i'd be offline for a while, so i didn't have the time to maybe make the exception to him and give the adopt anyway, so i sent the points back, with the explanation of that he was too late so i had to refuse. about four hours after i got back, he said, and i quote;  


"N\*\*\*a i was asleep"   


i was rather tired by this point, and admittedly really annoyed, so i sent a long winded reply about how he couldn't be asleep for 26 hours, and if he was going to be gone all day, he could have told me in advance and i would have given more time in advance. and also telling him that calling me a racial slur is really rude. but then he just proceeded to call me stupid and block me before i could explain to him further. however the thing is, even if he was rude after that, i feel like i might have been hard of him for not just waiting until tomorrow to give him the adopt, and that the rule was dumb and i was just picking on him for the reason of that he was slightly standoffish at first, but never was acting mean. so was i the asshole here for doing that?  


TL;DR: i refused to sell an adopt to someone as he took too long to get back to me, we got in a fight afterwards, even if i could have made an exception to the rule despite it being a hassle to have to do.
