Thank you to those who have responded with advice. I download these shows for a technologically impaired and bedridden
friend (he'd grimace at my description, lol)
I am sorry that simply asking triggered unfathomable negativity in some. It seems some can find reason to be combative and
graceless about anything. My advice? Do not engage: it feeds energy into their aberrant circuitry, and amps up the volume and
duration of their tantrums.
Deny them reactions and the negative energy field implodes. I can think of a no more fitting consequence than trapping them in
the mental echo chambers of their own anger, while we blithely pursue our own interests.
