LOL - I did make him stop recording me, because I saw him touch his phone as soon as I showed up in the doorway. I refused to discuss anything with him as long as he had that running, and he was insistent on addressing his ill-feelings right that minute. So, I just stood there, refusing to speak, until he stopped recording.
I made him prove it was off, and set the phone far away from him so I'd see if he tried to turn it back on. He was one PO'd H - but I refused to answer his demands as long as he was recording me. I did NOT know it was going to turn into WW3. I didn't lose it right away after that, either. It took a while listening to his spew before I'd had it.
I just don't like it when he baits me when he's recording me, and I won't do it anymore. He wouldn't want L to hear what I had to say in any case. None of it was very flattering to him.
I've had screaming banshee before, remember? But that one was out of control. This one was good and mad. I really, really tried getting him redirected, but he just wouldn't stop with his spew. Then finally, I had spew of my own, and he was shocked. Then he was hurt. I didn't feel so great about that, but he doesn't bother about my feelings when he's busy taking my inventory.
At the very least, I think he's going to stop attempting to manipulate me. He has suddenly remembered I have a brain. I'm not holding my breath, but he realizes I can work with him, or really drag this out forever. I don't want that, and neither does he.
