It is too bad the departure had to be sprinkled with such apparent hostility, even if one-sided. Re: him yelling at you for something you were not even working on, well I guess you should have been working on that also <g>! heh-heh... On a "Gratis Basis" no less.
Seriously, I wish you well as you look for alternative opportunities. The real interesting part of the story that I am waiting to hear is when this guy calls you back, asking you to help him out of whatever bind he finds himself in. I suppose it may be worth doing additional work for double the normal fee, paid in advance with cash, money order or cashier check (or gold) <g>. I think my longest term client is from 1993, and the relationship is excellent (it is with all of my clients). I could not imagine any of my client relationships degrading like that. It would be a terrible blow to my soul. Then again, I choose my clients carefully, very carefully.
