Yes, always blame the consumer for not knowing they need to opt-out.

Next, people will be at fault for their microwaves collecting their fingerprints because they didn't read the fine print at fucking Sears.

    Please point to the words where I blamed the consumer. Feel free to use your system's copy and paste functionality, if that makes it easier to share the words in question.

    Because as far as I can tell, there are two components to my comment:

    1. The part where I made the clear that I'm not defending this. ("Not to defend this")
    2. The part where I shared information that might be helpful for someone who already owns one of these. (Everything else!)

    Thanks! I await your reply.
