Finally 12clicks has replied to me. Let's analyze his amazing ability to solve logical problems.
"
dopey, this was my response to his begging me to look into it."
As a loyal affiliate who was not paid by that time, of course he would ask you to look into it. This statement is meaningless.
"
I've look at hundreds of thousands of sites in my time maybe 20 freeze my mac (that's the whole point of me using it and having it set up the way it is)
out of those 20, all 20 cheated."
Please go back to school and take some mathematics courses to improve your logical reasoning abilities. Ok, so 20 sites that he checked out all freeze his Mac. These 20 sites all cheated. Therefore, if a site freezes my Mac, it's a cheater. That is illogical.
"
Also, out of the hundreds of requests I get to look into why MY people wrongly accused someone of cheating, maybe 5 or 6 were reversed."
More logic. "Maybe 5 or 6 were reversed." Therefore you finally admit that your company is not completely perfect. Therefore you admit that
there is a chance that you may accuse a honest webmaster of cheating. Have you ever heard of 'innocent until proven guilty'? Are we learning, yet?
"
These are the facts. If this clown got paid, it was a screw up on our end (I'll admit that the screwup may have been that my people didn't save the html)"
NO, THOSE WERE STATS. THEY ARE NOT FACTS. Go back to school and take a statistics course. Take a law course, too, and learn how to deal with facts.
FACT: You did not save the html, then you have NO PROOF that he was cheater. Innocent until proven guilty.
FACT: He asked you to look at his code for verification. You did.
FACT: You admitted that you
thought he was cheating because your system crash while browsing his system. Because other cheaters have caused your system to crash, you therefore believe that he was cheating. This is illogical.
FACT: You admitted to writing an email which states you place no effort into justifying that he was cheating.
FACT: Your company reversed its decision and paid him. It is a FACT that your email records would prove this. So save it.
"
Whatever the case, if his business was worth having, I'd have it."
If your business was worth having, then maybe I may consider thinking about it. It is not.
"
How many traffic brokers do you know with my longevity? How many have come and gone?
What makes me different?
I know what's valuable and what isn't, I know what's important and what isn't. 
"
A typical irrelevant response to this discussion.
