He "decided to have GoDaddy" build the site, after I built it in wordpress. They arent using it. He actually logged in to HostGator and deleted the fucking word

  While you may be fine in this case, be careful with that sort of action. When in dispute with a client, even a deadbeat, you have to be really careful what actions you take. Their failure to pay may well be a breach of contract, but under the law your right to pursue that is in court, not by throwing a brick through their window or interfering with their business. You cannot cause harm to someone because they stole from you by not paying you. That is not proper, legal recourse. I have been in the situation where I decided the most prudent action was to "shake the dust off [my] feet" and learn to screen engagements better.

    I think you may be confused - I read that as the client deleted the wordpress instance, not the contractor.

      On second reading, you are right! I did misread that. Sorry, piratebroadcast for reading into your statement something that you did not do.

  > The guy is just a fucking idiot. Cant fix that. Well, who's the idiot? The idiot or the one who took him on as a client? Again, screen. Don't blame the client. Blame yourself for taking him on as a client and then do a better job of screening. This will come with experience.
