Good Riddance!
Add me to the list of those who believe that her behavior was completely uncalled for and unprofessional.
I fired a client once for chastising me based on an assumption he'd imagined, which couldn't have been further from reality (he accused me of having someone else write a batch of his company's articles when the truth is that I'd stayed up all night to finish them myself). When the client threatened me with an "if this ever happens again" statement, I politely replied that not only did it not happen the first time, but he'd never have to worry about having this conversation again since we would no longer be working together.
After reading your story and the many other similar ones I've heard of, I am concerned about the (seeming) trend that suggests a lack of respect for what we do and who we are as professionals.
Chalk this up as her mental issue and move on. Better to lose $10 now and be rid of an unreasonable client...
