Folks... I am pretty sure we had that conversation before about repeated demands and all, and I won't search the whole forum afetr it, but if my memory serves me right we had a green font answer stating that if the traders starts to insult the pirate after being robbed it's fair game for the pirate to at least demand the trader to stop and shoot them if they don't. It's like a new interaction, and started by the trader in this specific cases we are talking about now. So, ye, no problem to shoot the guy if you get insulted. BUT, some folks don't get it here, it's not piracy anymore! You can't demand more credits!
