Dear Rocket.scientist,
I have made my points abundantly clear and have no intent to conduct further discussion with you.
Consider yourself warned, however. If the activity of your organization results in financial loss of profit of a legitimate commercial entity conducting legal business, your organization and the individuals responsible will be sued in court.
Regards,
