Sounds like another entitled "journalist" who believes he's owed something.
I guarantee the entire interaction took place over email or text. How you let some words on a screen dictate your business decisions? whatever, he took himself out. if they told me that, id be like, "oh okay, noted. you sending my review copy or what?"
dudes gotta let their pride go. thats like being rude to customer service and they tell you to calm down so you just end the call. now u sitting there with the same issue. aint nothing honorable about that.
