The "unprofessional conduct" that he's alerting us to is his own behavior, right?

I read that and thought, "Whatever is coming is probably a huge breach of business etiquette." And I was right.

Edited to add: If the candidate's behavior in the interview was so egregious, why would you even waste your time with follow-up calls? It sounds like they wanted to hire the guy, but he wasn't interested in working for them after the interview. Sour grapes, anyone?

I would guess the "money-driven mindset" had a lot to do with it. The interview went well, he was a good fit, but they didn't offer him enough. With some back and forth on compensation souring communications enough to make the owner butt hurt enough to post this.
