there is a potential downside to this kind of action.

i nuked a scam caller once with a killer deez nutz joke. the guy went bonkers when he realized. i think it was ligma or bofa or something. that day i won a battle.

since then i receive 25+ calls a day. i had to enable call blocking from unknown numbers. unfortunately i sometimes have to disable this feature when expecting calls.

you may win a battle and walk away with a cool war story but you will lose the war a million times over.
