I'm not going to go out with you.  

You surprised me in a very unpleasant way several days ago.  I feel like you continue not to understand some basic principles, even though I talk about them frequently.

I don't care that you called me ugly.  What surprised me about all of that was your lack of understanding that your behavior was incredibly immature for a 37-year-old man, and that your behavior also started to cause a crisis for me with the conglomerate media.  I knew that I had to take steps to ward off that crisis, which I did by discrediting the idea that you are generally a nice guy to women and that you just got ensnared with The Evil Lena and justifiably threw me to the conglomerate torturers.  Do you not realize that what you did had potentially serious consequences that I had to spend several days trying to prevent?

You seem to be either unaware that my actions and what happens to me have political weight, or you don't care about that, or you like the power that you think you can get by manipulating me. I have enough practice dealing with insensitive celebrities that I knew what to do when your mentality and subsequent behavior descended decidedly into 5th-grade-level, bullying squalor.

You made me much angrier than you apparently realize.  I'm glad that I maintained control over the rage that conglomerate behavior generally causes me to feel, and that you specifically caused me to feel.  I didn't, though, mean to leave you with the notion that I'll continue to invest in something that has no future that I could want.

All of the above is entirely serious.

I don't want to be too harsh, though, as long as you realize that I'll NEVER go out with you.  

Thanks, for letting me be the one to say the final "No."  Being a Mature person, I appreciate it.
