I had a flake of a customer a few years ago. They hadn't paid their bills in three months so I shut down their service. They called me and things went downhill when they started with the list of demands. Eventually I told him I wasn't going to restart the service because I wasn't going to do business with him anymore.

He freaked out (even more) and told me I had to sell him the service. I told him that unless my wife said I had to, I actually didn't have to sell him anything.

Then he threatened to go to the authorities to make me provide the service.So I asked him who he thought he authorities were, Papa Smurf?

Frankly I would simply start ignoring this person's emails and carry on with your life. Though what you should be learning from this is that you have some potential supply chain issues that you may want to address.
