Here I am talking about project that I was interested in having you do, which would have been worth what I would guess to be around $5,000 - $10,000, and all you can worry about is your $1 per minute.
Here you are, making what you claim to be 6 figures and yet you're worried about going over details of a project and your $1/minute fee? get a grip. You sit there and wrote in a previous email how you wanted you clients to know what they want. What they're going for, and to be specific, and yet when that information is trying to be delivered to you all you're worried about if $1/minute?
Sure, we could have passed emails back and forth for days and days and days trying to explain the intricacies of what it was I am working on but you know what, I have better things to do with my time than to sit there and wait for responses back and forth. The information you would have needed would have been covered in an hour or two of chat rather than a week of sending emails back and forth.
You really have no grasp for business.

Well we will never know. At the time I was 50/50 unsure if you were a genuine customer or not. From my experience, the guys that have worked with designers before know we dont like to sit around chatting as it stops us working.
It's usually the noobs with big dreams that think you do this for a hobby and have all day to talk to them.
In all likelyhood I wouldn't have taken your gig anyway. We like to do quick punchy gigs that take no more than a few days max. $10K would mean we would be devoted to you for a conciderable amount of time. Negleting our other clients.
IM sorry I hurt your feelings. I hope you found a great designer.
