And that's all we get out of you? A baseless, defamatory lie? Libel?

I presented you with an offer to work together: a straightforward business proposal that included proprietary analysis and trade secrets that could not be divulged without serious collaboration, which you refused.

You want to refer to that as extortion? It's your prerogative to make yourself out to be a fool, so I can't stop you, but is that really what you want to do?

I have clearly just called you a liar and accused you of character defamation. You can either apologize or publish the information you have (that doesn't exists, but in case it did, you could) to show that you haven't libelled me.

Nice job showing who you are and confirming my thesis just presented above in such quick and succinct fashion.
