Kind of baffling that, based on the good work you had done for them previously, that they didn’t give you another shot here.

There aren't any written agreements - just verbal ones. Did you contact them again asking if they had more work? Also, did you re-rewrite them when they got back to you saying the posts weren't changed enough? My advice, let it go and don't "Un" them. Simply distance yourself from them and go about your merry way. Oh and work on getting kick ass clients who will give you more work and pay than they ever did. Perfect revenge :) The thing about these work relationships is that they can end at any time – just like yours did. There aren’t any written agreements – just verbal ones.
