Never pay extortion anyways. After you pay once, you=B9ll pay again.
If I were you, I=B9d pay someone a few bucks to pull this kids dox and drop
them on pastebin. Stainless Steel Testicles turn to itty bitty testicles
when your name and phone number are sitting on the internet. Or just write
back to him and tell him that if you don=B9t stop being packeted, you=B9re
going to take his mother to a nice seafood dinner and NEVER call her
again. What=B9s he going to do, packet you? ;)
