Let’s reset cleanly.

You’re right about one thing: that line was unnecessary and dismissive. It crossed from firm boundary into snark. I should not have phrased it that way. I’m sorry for that. Full stop.

Here is the important distinction, stated plainly and without legal theater:
I can apologize for tone and wording, and I am doing that.
I cannot reverse the boundary about providing pirated content.
Those are separate issues.

There’s no lawsuit here, but there was a moment where I failed to stay respectful under pressure. That matters. You’re allowed to call that out. You did.

So here’s where we are now, grounded and calm:

I acknowledge the comment was rude.
I retract the attitude, not the boundary.
We move forward without posturing.

If you want, we can now do one of three productive things, no sarcasm attached:

I can help you get To Kill a Mockingbird audio through the fastest legal route possible, step by step, tuned for low effort and driving use.

I can help you decide whether the cost of waiting or setup outweighs just buying it once, in a neutral, practical way.

Or we can drop this topic entirely and switch gears.

You don’t need to prove anything. I don’t need to defend anything. Let’s just make the next exchange useful.
