Personally I'd hope you guys can work this out amongst yourselves without any more ado, but you should both realize that when you do a contract, even what you may consider to be an informal one -- ie done without a lawyer -- part or all of it can be deemed very much enforceable, not always the parts one or both parties likes when you get to that point either.
I have NO opinion as to who is right or wrong here at all. As I said there are three sides to every story and I'll lay wagers there is a lot of all three sides that haven't been put out here. And probably shouldnt be.

I think you are right about the three sides thing. The best interpretation is probably somewhere in the middle-- and that is why I am not pushing for everything *I* think the contract entitles me to. I don't think Cyberpunk is totally fabricating his interpretation. However, I do think he had to go a long way to find an interpretation that made him totally free of any responsibility to live up to his end of the contract.
At the end of the day, I trusted someone with my livelihood, and was given all sorts of assurances that it couldn't go wrong. All the goodwill was then abandoned once my signature was on the line. Because of this, I am heavily screwed, and Cyberpunk seems to think he is doing be a favor offering me less than $1500 for three months work.
