there is not even evidence that the bot even made 0.01BTC until it has been proven everyone should stop taking sides
If tspacepilot had not withdrew any fund from coinchat, and Tradefortress has lowered his rep for no reason, wouldn't the first thing tspacepilot would say is, hey, I never withdrew anything? They have argued about the amount, but the reasonable first step a person would take in defending themself is saying that they had taken
nothing. Tspacepilot did not say they didn't withdraw Bitcoin earned by the Bot, they said they didn't withdraw 1.5 BTC or .5 BTC.

I'm sorry salty but this isn't correct.
1) The amounts are invented, I;m not sure from where. Tf asserted 1.5 then .5 and I never withrew near that amount.
2) The b0t thing is a red herring. Yes I registered that username but almost never used it. I had hoped to deploy a bot under that name but never got the bugs worked out before I was banned. Tf and I even had a discussion one time about that bot and he did not object to the name at the time.
To bring us back to the point: everyone agrees that tf and I had no currency trade agreement and that he is attempting to use his influence on a third party site to punish me for his grudge about my use of coinchat.
You didn't withdraw "anywhere near that amount" so you did withdraw something. And you "Almost never" used the illegal bot, but you did use it.
Salty, I think I see your point about reducing this to a categorical notion. However, I disagree wholeheartedly. Tf is currently holding my reputation ransom for 0.5BTC. He started off demanding 1.5BTC (an amount I dont even have!). If tf's ransom demand was 0.001btc I would probably just pay him to make this go away and hope that he didnt come back demanding more at a later date. In any case I would be able to provide evidence from this forum where he and I made an agreement and if he didn't fulfill his part of the bargain that would also be public knowledge. As things stand, there is 0 evidence regarding whatever I "owe" him (scare quotes because I don't believe I owe him anything). Yet I am liable for any amount he chooses and my only recourse (it seems) is to decry the blackmail in this thread. I really feel that the numbers
matter here because they are a) unsupported by evidence and b) my rep is being held liable for those amounts.
