Always dangerous to respond with limited details of a situation, but here are some basics that may help:
1. Put the onus of responsibility on him (management) where it belongs. Ask him to meet all the aspects of the new job you like (i.e. pay, benefits, responsibilities/tools, commute, working from home, etc). Note: He won't meet these requests, but, it puts focus back on the things for which you are leaving rather than his charactor assasiniation. Don't give him more time as he "works" to meet your needs either.:-)
2. If you were so horrible (as it sounds like he is accusing you of) then why did he (management) keep you for 6-7 years? It begins to look pretty strange to anyone (peers or other management types) once that logic emerges
3. Continue to be professional, in spite of his lack of professionalism. Keep a journal of things said to you for potential legal action later should he follow through with his threats to withold pay. (Please tell me you did not send this message from work, which would fall outside this "professionalism" suggestion... calling a boss names in open forum that can be traced to you would be a bad thing...):-)
Best of luck to you, sorry you are having a rough path out to bigger and better things...
Regardless of the original DNA, as in this case "calamari," the females of the species always seem to develop perfectly round and full breasts and asses...
Seems to be a universal truism,:-)
