I don't like drama, but I do feel compelled to weigh in.

A while ago (2016-05-19) , I left TwitchySeal some positive feedback:

One of the sane ones. An asset to the bitcoin gambling community

I honestly forgot why, but it was probably to do with one of his posts around that time.

Anyway, recently I get a PM from OgNasty telling me I should remove my feedback because TwitchySeal is an extortionist. When I asked him for some more information, he basically refused and pressed on with what is arguably thinly veiled extortion of his own:

"Stupid extortion plan"
Here you go: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1582065.0

I'm missing the bit with extortion?

I don't share PMs, as I consider that a breach of trust. However, they indeed did present me with an ultimatum that I consider an extortion attempt. Either way, let me know if you don't want to remove the trust rating and I'll just remove my trust of Mitchell so that I can get him out of my trust network that way. No hard feelings against you either way. I just figured asking you would be better than disconnecting myself with Mitchell, who I did think was trustworthy. Not any kind of problem though. Good luck with you in the future. Always nice to speak with another Bitcoin enthusiast.

I never left him negative feedback, as his trade and escrow history gives me the impression he is otherwise an honest guy. But I do take issue with the way he attempted to strong arm me into removing my feedback.

That doesn't seem like strong-arming to me, or else I'm missing something. Nor does it seem like extortion. OGNasty didn't threaten any trust against you at all. He was just--from what I'm seeing in the text you posted--asking you to remove your feedback. I've had people PM me multiple times with the same general requests and some really did threaten to leave me negs and some did. For all else that OGN did here, I don't think his note to you adds to this.

"Disconnecting myself with Mitchell" could suggest that since OGNasty is on DT1, he could ~Mitchell on his trust list and remove him from DT2, which removes his feedback from Ryan's trusted list. The extortion part is the fact that he wanted him to remove the +ve rating on TwitchySeal, or he would do what I just said above. Not sure why he wouldn't just leave a -ve on Ryan though (maybe it would be to suspicious?). I don't see how the sentence with Mitchell could be talking about anything else.
