Then I chime in with an answer:
Because it was already said e-mails ago that it was a spelling mistake, yet
you insist on spelling it wrong to make some point no one cares about.

It basically goes on to whine about some misspelling that's already been
corrected. Then he explains that he hasn't gotten laid in years and that
his mother beat him as a child. Then, after the sniveling and bitching, he
finally finishes:

(Like his last date?)
