Anything rather than admit that you are in the wrong. The ordinary member of the species homo sapiens would by now have apologized, or at least shut up, but noooooo. That is too much like the little people for you. What can one do with arrogance like that? Well, of course, other than take a gun and shoot the thing down.

I do not ignore the computer because I have two aging parents who both live alone and a close relative with a serious disability that makes his health easily endangered. My family all use the internet as much as the phone, and I do not intend to be cut off from my people even in the middle of the night, just in case. I realize that someone like you might find this hard to understand, but I would rather be available to my family any time they might need me.
