It baffles me that C_S, a community of people who have come together to bitch about being abused by strangers, and who will defend people who do pretty much any job in the entire world, think that it is not only okay but it is in fact *correct* to be verbally abusive to telemarketers, because they are the scum of the Earth, somehow, by calling your unlisted phone number, rather than being a middling annoyance that is dealt with much more quickly and neatly and permanently if you are polite or screen your calls.

That is not actually the longest sentence I have ever written.
