Yeah, that's called blackmail, and its putting you on the same level as them.
Being a freelancer & businessman, you will find that occasionally clients suck. Sometimes they will stiff you, sometimes they will be a pain, and sometimes they will make you ashamed to put your name on their project. I doubt there is really a way to eliminate those types of clients, but there are ways to reduce. Require a deposit... If you have trouble getting stiffed, start requiring half up front. Then at the very worst, you get paid half.
