Extortion, no matter how pathetic the attempt is, is still extortion.
I might freely give $100 to someone without a second thought, but add a threat of extortion on top of the exact same circumstances, and I would not be inclined to give a single cent.
I am really having a hard time understanding how you can take this stance. It just seems completely out of character for you (from what I have seen on FR in the past...you have been here a while, so I know you aren’t a DUmmy troll or anything.) Seriously. I am puzzled.
If I was Mike Dewine I would have been amused at this dishwashers lame attempt at blackmail and would have forked over the $80 and gotten him a cellphone replacement. I would have done it just for good luck. I would not have been offended
Mike Dewine reached out halfway but not all the way because he is a phony. He is as bad as the cyclist
