If your old boss calls you - I would put his number in your phone with a silent ring tone. All you'll see is the missed calls - don't listen to the voice mails he leaves.
Mark his email address in your email program as 'junk' and don't look back.

I'd have no guilty conscience whatsoever about telling him/them to pound sand. But I'd be happy to collect some more checks if I could get them to pay me for it. However, I will always help out my former customers. I truly do like them and they should not suffer because of our company's internal BS. And they could be great networking sources in the future too. Many of them are Facebook friends.
