Wow, some people are quite something, acting like whole universe revolves around them. I guess I would respond (in rather forced) polite manner that you are disappointed by his reaction, that he should take steps to have more control of his emotions for his own good, that because of his insults you are hereby stopping any other communication with him, unless he offers 100x more as compensation for his hurtful actions. We all can do our little to teach a-holes of this world a lesson or two in good manners. Nothing crazy or vengeful, but something they can and should take as a lesson to become better human beings. Or suffer, their choice. Even most broken people usually understand that kind of basic logic.

The lack of self awareness in your post is fucking astonishing.

It's petty, but I didn't respond. I just extended the registration to 10 years :)

  How sure are you it wasn't an attempted scam? For some reason scammers seem to get really abusive like that. Totally a tangent, but I was once at a time share presentation (I was a stupid kid and they got me in with some free cash or something) and they wanted about $30K for this timeshare which definitely wasn't worth $30K. Hell, the house I was living in ALL the weeks of a year was only about $100K. When I was like, "I can't afford that" they started talking to me about how this $30K timeshare was a great investment. I responded like, "If I had $30K to invest, there are better things to invest in that don't cost me hundreds per year in management fees." The guy brought over his boss who screamed in my face, basically telling me I'm too stupid to invest $30K and I'm wasting his time. I looked around, and everyone was looking at him. I thought to myself, "Dude, you just nuked every possible sale in this room for a sale that was never going to happen."

Sticking your arm into a potential hornet's nest for no personal reason whatsoever? The most broken person will go do what the article suggested, btw.

FWIW, I find trying to educate assholes is more trouble than its worth, since it rarely accomplishes something. Merely ignoring them is easier, more pleasant, and still an opportunity to learn when they start asking "why doesn't anybody return my calls"
