Yes, it hurts when you say those things

But I no longer accept a rejection if it comes to me by email.  Email rejections don't count anymore.  A rejection has to be done in person, and it can be written on paper if you have to, but it has to be done in the real world, because it's important, and because I don't want to read lies written by hackers.  I accept a rejection if it is given to me in the real world.  That's why I don't try to call anymore, and why I don't ask you to meet me someplace anymore - because you said no in the real world.  You can tell me not to email you, if you want.  But you have to tell it to me in the real world.
