Don't run off, you've got change coming.

If you were really following the thread you wouldn't have said this :

This one point which you have obviously missed has been gone over with
excruciating specificity . I was assured that my number was being
required to be used only for urgent matters. 

> And, honestly, it wasn't given to a "telemarketing agency". 

Primenet says it was ! Do you know better than them ? Thank you for
following the thread !

> Nobody tried

Do you always discuss conversations you never heard ? I suppose you hold
forth on books you never read as well.

> Or

No. That like most of what you've written would be incorrect. I've been
rude to the people (like yourself) who have been rude to me.  I've been
polite with those who have been courteous to me notwithstanding often
differing views.

What's wrong with it. The guy got a mild flaming. He deserved worse, but
he does such a good job of show casing his stupidity and sheep like
wimpyness by himself, no more was indicated.

> Can you respond without insulting the Hell out of someone?

Absolutely. We've covered this. Thank you for following the thread your
reading.

See that thing fluttering around your head ? That's a cluebird and he's
not announcing the advent of summer. He's telling you that I don't want
your sympathy and your uninformed discourse re: the matters at hand is
nauseating.

If your intentions are so bland, then reconcile the following paragraph
with the preceding one and explain why that in itself doesn't make you
one of the more inconsiderately clueless, time wasters to post re: these
matters in over a week.
