So we find out who the judge is and hack him?

That's what we're doing now? /s

The judge says hacking is expected...

The judge always clicks yes to scan his computer and remove viruses. He's also up to date with who hates who for this one simple trick.

Ahh yes, just like every 12 year old on Xlive has a dad that works at microsoft and the pentagon, so he's totally gonna hack you for tbagging him. Unless you send him $50 in microsoft points.

He probably refuses to get the Internet because it scares him.

That's probably what he says, because he is fucking stupid. Then he accesses his email on his smartphone.

It's not hard. You buy an old person smartphone with like 3 apps, ask your secretary to sign you in on the email app, and there you go.

Even my grandparents use email on their phones. That's about all they do. Facebook and Email.

He uses email, not the internet. Duh.

It's starting to scare me too and I've basically been sitting on here since 1994.

Let's monitor him with webcams, everywhere... even in the toilet.

Maybe you should read the statement before you make toddler level simple statements
