Seems to me a simple statement of fact cannot be a flame. Avoid any overly harsh, personal terms. You paid $20. This person didn't deliver. Nothing overly harsh. Nothing personal.
Just my opinion.
Thanks for the comments.

Your points are well taken - the truth is not a flame per se but I still want a moderator to tell me to "out" the guy before I do so.
