“Wowie wow, it’s so GENEROUS of you to give her MY $2500 of equipment that I use regularly. Just out of curiosity, what did YOU give her? Why didn’t YOU give her $2500 of camera equipment? Oh? You can’t afford it? That’s too big of a present? Oh that’s interesting. So you think you get to literally STEAL mine to give her? Golly gee whiz, that’s some interesting logic.” – NTA
