Wow, I never would hope for failure and perhaps he never had enough of a relationship with you to extend service you expect......maybe you just rub eachother the wrong way or something else is not being told here but it doesnt sound like it matters anyway but wishing failure is bad karma IMO.
Not assumeing anything here, just thinking outloud and perhaps he is so beat down and jaded by the INternet and bad Hi-Fi economics.....but still, wishing failure??????
