Almost nothing else I can imagine in polite society would be as brutal, for the recipient, as being droppped from a gig due expressly due to lack of talent or ability. We are taught that life isn't as cold as this. A girl doesn't tell a guy that she breaks up with "It's because you aren't any good in bed," for instance.
If, as you say, this guy was told that he was let go due to "not having the chops," I can imagine that he has a hard time wrapping his mind around this message. These other, conspiracy theories, are what he comes up with to rationalize the situation.
But goddang, dawg, your response to him is harsh. People think I'm tough? Man, in real life, I go so much easier on people than you did here.
Granted, I don't have the inside persepctive on this situation.
