Them: "Blah Blah school."
Me: "Hello, my name is Will and I've recently read about your principal being forced on leave because some of her students wrote an interesting article."
Them: "Who is this?"
Me: "My name is Will."
blah blah blah, it's clear that they weren't going to listen, and intended to report me to the police. I gave them a kind 'have a good day' and that was that. I called to get more information on the story and to see if I could get a hold of who was responsible. What I got was someone uninterested in helping me. What reason would there have been in giving my name when it was clear they had no information for me? Giving out my full name and location would have been a stupid waste of time. I'm not stupid, and I only waste time on The Shield...so there we are.
Did you call? No? Then I'm still ahead of you on the walk the walk chart.

Actually, ummm, I didn't say I was going to call. In fact I didn't say I would take any action at all. I didn't say I was going to call any "idiots" and read them the riot act. No. I steered very clear of that.
So if that's how you tell yourself that what you are doing is okay by comparing yourself to someone who didn't say they were going to do something, I guess you are ahead on the chart.
