Ghost.org deleted my website
I don't think either party comes out especially well here, but my sympathies lie with the CEO.  The only thing I might have done differently would be to include a tarball of the site in the "Sorry it was not a good fit" email, thereby avoiding the accusation of wasted work.<p>If I'm providing a service and someone has a problem with it, I expect them to look to resolve it with me first, before tweeting about "shady practices".<p><i>Added in edit: People seem to think I believe the CEO acted well and that I'm defending him.  I don't, and I'm not.  But neither party comes out well from this, and I can see why the CEO acted as he did, even if I think it was flawed.</i>
