Having been in business for my self in the past.
The stuff you give away as advertising has to be at least as high of a priority as the stuff you sell...
IF you are trying to make a good impression that is. If not, then don't worry about it, curse at potential, current, and past customers. I'm sure they will all stop bothering you eventually.
As a businessman when you enter into a contract, for money, or for other benefits (positive sentiment for instance), you hold up your end of the deal come hell or high water.
If these folks had been your credit card company, they would have hit you for late fees, or closed your account (in the case of DenniZ and Jedi).
Brother I don't mean any of this to be mean, I hope you succeed - I do. I hope you make a million dollars off your peppers. But this is not the way.
I understand falling and whatever, being in the hospital, but as your parents might have said to you when you were out too late due to "car problems" there are pay phones everywhere, these days cell phones, and you or someone employed, related or married to you could have logged in and posted "hey just wanted to let everyone know, Dale is in the hospital so he's going to be a little slow getting his orders out. ~dales wife/son/friend/employee/nurse/doctor/whatever "
If that had been the only thing said, people would have FLOCKED to you with messages of positivity, offers of prayer, and possibly even pity sales.
I hope you see the logical end result of the way you are currently handling things.
