    I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness (here and in your other reply to the user below - sorry, I confused you with another user), but compared to the levels of vitriol being thrown at me in this thread for having the audacity to not just assume that a woman is a horrible bigot deserving of a bafflingly rude customer service interaction simply for asking for a “boy toy” for her son, I’d say I’m doing pretty well here, all things considered.

    I’m just not sure how I’m the obnoxious one in this scenario, instead of all of the inflammatory commenters and the really obvious fishing attempts for bigotry that are keeping this sub-thread going?

    Am I the obnoxious one just because I’m the one choosing not to go along with the ridiculous circle-jerk, even though my comments are an order of magnitude less antagonistic than the ones I’m responding to? I legitimately don’t know.

    You’re the other user is right, though - my mind’s not going to change, and the handful of upvotes I’m getting lets me know that others feel the same way, even if they’re understandably hesitant to speak up about it with all the personal attacks I’m getting here as a result.

      LOL, I don’t know what the numbers were when you wrote that, but “appeal to upvotes” as an argument is hilariously bad for someone who’s being ratioed as heavily as you are.
