I'm not sure where we disagree here... What are you referring to?

I for instance fully believe a robot on the bar SQUATTING on any opponent dumb enough to try to acquire from underneath it is a perfectly legitimate defense of the bar. That wouldn't violate my concept of "personal space intrusion". I'm more concerned with spearing and the like.
