I'm sorry, no. The guy was a jerk going overboard with his little power
trip. It's impossible to relate his tone of voice or attitude in a brief
news post but trust me he did not approach the issue with a professional

I would have gladly cooperated. "I got you a$$$$le, come with me" is not
one of them.
