Pheelyks Versus Freelance Writer: A comparative analysis

Members, there are 2 resident writers in this forum who needs an objective comparison. The reason for this is obvious: both appear to be friendly to each other and, of course, they claim to represent the best writing talent from our old US of nonsense.

Lets go:

Pheelyks: Sounds quite arrogant and unsure about himself
Freelancewriter: sounds ok and one of the more rational writers around

Pheelyks: He is always battling genuine complaints from scammed students-hence his ever presence in this forum. Something about his quality definitely needs improvement
Freelancewriter: I am yet to hear a single complaint against him

Pheelyks: He lacks a sense of confidence and independence and has to constantly seek WB's approval. Sometimes he appears a bit juvenile.
Freelancewriter: Very very independent and sounds like a true gentleman, even when offline

Pheelyks: He is constantly at war with ESL writers which only solidifies our perception that he is very insecure about his writing abilities and hence has to attack ESL writers to feel good. Poor writing skills((out of a ten point index, I'd give him 2.5)...just check some of the 'quality' essays he's posted online

Freelancewriter: Good writing skills(out of a ten point index, I'd give him 8.5)

Pheelyks: It has been consistently reported that he'd have no qualms reporting a student to his university.
Freelancewriter: I never heard of such a complaint.

Pheelyks: Most likely, he suffers from severe inferiority complex due to his constant assertion of his skills and his 'earnings' . You know, wimps always want to sound strong.

Freelancewriter: Sounds quite contented.

No price for guessing who I would use if I were a student.....

Thanks, but in my opinion, we're equals. We compete directly against one another but we've also shared clients and we've handled work for one another's clients in our respective areas. We've never met, but we have a mutually respectful and appreciative relationship via email and I trust him as a writer or I'd never send any clients his way. My wife and I once made plans to meet him and his wife for coffee at a diner when he was in town visiting family but we couldn't match our schedules. In my opinion, he's as good in his specialty areas as I am in mine and we're probably about the same in topics we both handle. He's just had bad luck here with a couple of vindictive psychotic customers who tried to rip him off. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself more of a "gentleman" either and if anybody tried to do to me what "sandyy" tried to do to him, I'd have posted her essay publicy much sooner than he did. I am "content" with my life but as far as I can tell, so is he and he's probably got a fuller life than I do but my life is boring (by other people's standards) by my choice. It would obviously be more in my interest to keep my mouth shut and not to defend him, but I don't like reading nonsense about him any more than I do about any of the companies I write for and I don't compete that way. I leave those types of tactics to the genuine lowlifes of this forum like "stu4."

Phyleeks is a cheap brat,who doesn't know that!?

The middle-school whining is just pathetic.

Oh good. You learned how to copy and paste. I'm sure your trainers are very proud--how many extra fish heads did you get for this?

Sorry to interfere but you're so stubbornly arrogant. The entire case is in front of EVERY visitor of the forum. No doubt you're a competitor. You (and countless people like you) are so irritated by the fact that you don't have as much credibility as others do.

However, what is so very shameful is that instead of improving on your weaknesses, you're throwing mud at others.

Pheelyks,is it not true that you never accept revision requests from "dissatisfied clients," and if you do,you charge them extra pounds?

You are back at it, MeowCON
How many times must i state that I DONT WRITE PAPERS FOR STUDENTS NOR DO I OWN ANY ESSAY WRITING GARBAGE OF A SITE$^&%^&%^&

Don't be like so many retarded and filthy Pakistanis that i know of, Uncle Tom

I did respond, diphit. Seriously, how do you function? Do you have full time caretakers?

I function pretty good,at least not like you. Basically, I have never disappointed any client,and this I am proud of!

I'm sure your clients knew what a load of crap they'd be getting when they ordered form you--it's hard to disappoint clients with such low expectations.

LMAO!


Um, I didn't have to because the lies are painfully obvious.


That's heavy.

You're a racist, an arrogant soul who has no respect for other human beings. Shame on you. You always hide you embarrassment behind swear words and other voiceless rants that you have only.

If you have ever bothered to read objective articles addressing the plight of sadistic and sad Internet Psychos, you'd have noted that researchers consistently point out that most of the sad internet trolls ALWAYS use the abbreviation LMAO to deceptively pretend to other forum members that they are happy n laughing. It is a defense mechanism aganist their sad state. In reality they are ever sad and deranged. I can't count the number of times you 'LMAO'. For sure, i will give you a link to such articles later today and, of course, continue LMAOING bitter B.itch


Oh good. You learned how to detect copy paste. So how many different d.icks were shoved up your beaten a.s.s by your mentors?

While at it, i always wonder why you intensely love WB's protection. IS it because you were neglected as a kid and you are always looking out for mother figures?

What would happen to you if WB were to leave the forum?

Oh wow this is waaaay better than watching my sisters *****. Please continue!

I'm a little sad that it ended.

Don't worry. You can get your fill of drama and conflict in any of the other threads XD

We all sometimes get obnoxious clients. Pheelyks just had the bad luck of running into one who was psychotic and very vindictive. Just this week I had a new propsective client send me a project due later this month and then respond to my price quote by asking for a reduced rate because he's going to be sending me more work in the future. NewsFlash: almost all clients who use me once end up using me many times afterwards and if I give any discounts, it's always going to be to long-term repeat customers and not first-time customers who start off by asking for special treatment before we've even done business. In addition to asking for a price break, he also wanted to know if I could throw in another 100-word synopsis of the chosen article and get it to him in 24 hours. Already, I know this person is going to be a problem customer but sometimes people who start off that way catch on and it's a pretty simple 2.5-pg paper asking to take a position on a current news story for a journalism class. I ask if he wants to choose the article and he says to just choose anything I want. Price is $75 for 2.5 pages and the overnight 100-wd synopsis of the article thrown in as a courtesy.

So I select a 5-pg article from the NY Times earlier this week about cyber warfare and Iran's nuclear facilities and send him his 100-wd synopsis as requested. Today, he emails to say he didn't use it because he preferred to use a totally different topic of interest to him and that the 100 words was supposed to include his position and not just the article summary. Offers to send me another $90 to apply the $75 to a longer paper on Syria. I read his long email and assignment instructions for that and tell him no problem. Next response from him says he changed his mind and wants a refund. I respond that he can have a full $75 credit for next time or $45 back as a refund. He writes back that he wants $55 back because my time spent on it so far is worth $20. I just refunded his $45 and told him not to bother me again in the future because I don't want his business.

When you do this for a living and you deal with hundreds of clients annually, there are always going to be some who become problems. Pheelyks just got stuck with one who's more vindictive than most. If anybody ever did to me what Sandyy did to him, I'd publish the person's name right here along with the assignment prompt and the essay and the emails so it comes up anytime a future employer googles him. This one has just informed me that he's opening up a paypal dispute over the full amount unless I return another $10 so my initial instincts were right. If you do this for a living long enough, you're always going to run into these types periodically. If you ask me, Pheelyks was way too nice about it.

And because stupid people are very predictable, expect the single stupidest person on this forum to chime in soon and focus exclusively on the 3rd sentence in my last paragraph completely out of context. (And I'm not talking about the client.)

So you counted 100 words as a full page? I'm not saying I disagree with that; I'm just thinking maybe the student thought that was unfair. I wonder where he got the figure of $20 though, because if he went by the rationale of a page (300 words) being worth $30, then 100 words would be $10, not $20. I imagine it's difficult to explain to students (who may not have ever researched and written a paper) that locating sources and reading them actually takes time too.

No. I originally agreed to just credit the full amount to the other paper he wanted instead. When he changed his mind and asked for a full refund, I told him he could still have a full credit or a refund minus the cost of a page because of the time involved in finding a suitable article, analyzing it, and sending him a synopsis of it on very short notice. The time necessary to find and read the article is included in the price of the whole 2.5-pg paper but that part of it actually takes more time than writing a single page afterwards. Same if you ask me to read a 10-pg journal article and then ask to cancel an order of a few pages about the article after I read it for you but before I write the paper. We don't do 100-word orders and I'd already spent the time to accommodate his request for more work than he was actually paying for as a courtesy. If you ask for a refund before I've wasted any of my time doing the research or reading all your source files, you get a 100% refund with no problem. Once I've spent time on it, you're paying me for at least 1 page because I'm out the time already spent on your project.


Thanks, but the stupider the person the easier it is to predict behavior. This one's even too stupid to avoid proving me right.
