I don't think you can ever go from extorting someone to being on decent terms with them.
Yeah, no. Keep trying to make this worse than it actually is.

All this is, in its entirety, is a desperate revenge attack for the questions raised against *you-know-who*. You are so desperate and shameless that you are willing to hurt innocent people in order to accomplish your malicious goals. Then you come to me, question my ratings and complain about some kind of bias somewhere. Ironic, predictable, and petty.
