I understand your disagreement, but I never blackmailed him. When he told me my new salary, it was nothing like he'd indicated, and nothing like what other entry-level developers were paid. I understand that I'm self taught, but I was there nine months and haven't had any complaints about my work, only a few corrections like any other junior developer.
1. I didn't blackmail him. I had made it clear from the day I was hired full time that I wouldn't be able to afford living on that amount. And yesterday when I finally found out what I'd be making, it turned out he'd reneged on his side, and I called him out on it.
2. Technically I said fuck in a conversation with my ex-boss. This was after he fired me and called me disloyal. My conversations with him as an employee were more than respectful.
3. The blog was not about him, it was about my desperation. I don't care that he offered me the $45k, I care that he strung me along like it would be more. It might have been an overreaction, but if so I still feel like it's an understandable one given what state of mind anyone would be in, having the rug pulled out from under them like this.
And for what it's worth, I'm a really quiet, easy-going person. I don't blow up on people, but I also don't do weird passive-aggressive office politics. I work and generally get along with everyone.

Even though this contract would help me, I don't mind giving it to you and helping you get used to the work. Your BOSS sounds like a complete and utter douche bag and this experience may turn out to be a great lesson.
