Breath deep. Someone had an unpleasant experience working with someone else who is in a different timezone, who reportedly explicitly said "...Change it to a 5 second Sleep so I have something to give him the next time he complains!"
You had a bad experience working with someone in a different timezone, forced to deal with necessary changes through a broken web interface.
The common issue here is the frustration that both sides feel when forced to work with people through a long lag. Ever try playing a networked game with ping above 500ms?
Just not being able to talk to one another in the same timezone, let alone face to face, are big hurdles that many people have trouble overcoming, despite the best of intentions on both sides (and occasionally, yes, incompetence or malice of one or the other parties, or both).
