Wow. As far as I can see, both the OP's and the commissioner's attitudes need some serious adjusting.
OP, if I had seen that journal as a potential client, I would have not just not commissioned you, I would have unwatched you immediately. Both it and the aggressive response you gave your prospective client on FA come off as exceptionally immature, and the victim-blaming and shaming in the journal are just unacceptable, IMO.
Next time you feel the need to reply to someone angrily or want to rant to get something off your chest, try typing it all out in Notepad, then deleting it and writing a level-headed draft instead. If you absolutely NEED to rant and post, that's what LiveJournal (and friends-locking) is for.
In the commission business people build their impression of you by the content of your account, and that includes journals. It's very important to be careful what you present publicly because that is what builds your reputation, and this stuff doesn't reflect well on you at all.
