Good on you for standing up to what you saw as a violation of trust and ethics! You're light on the details of the departure though. Were they explicit that the relationship "fizzled" because of your refusal to deploy the code? At a meta level, this post seems a little strange to me. Is the linked site your blog? Or a discussion forum you're trying to bootstrap and drive traffic to? If telling the story of this ethical dilemma and the consequences were the driving motivation for this submission, it seems a little low effort and light on details of the consequences. But if it was to drive traffic to your forum, then I guess it did a good job.
