In that case, isn't the appropriate response to say something along the lines of:

"I am profoundly more than you in ways in which you can only begin to comprehend. We have spoken enough for now and I grow tired of your questions. You are dismissed."

No, because one is expressing appropriate personal boundaries, and the second is just snotty.


"I love it when you two impersonate earthlings."
