I think T1 is playing word games, and, mind games. To tell a client it's ok to email him but he will not read it is a cheap power play. Now when you get upset over not being able to email him anymore (because in essence, that is what he is telling you indirectly), he can say, "I never said you couldn't email me." It's very manipulative and shady. Shifting the blame onto you is classic gaslighting.
