@Kyresti Agh. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I like what you said here, being firm about it.
"For your own good" is also monstrously arrogant, almost entirely /because/, yeah, it puts the person making that decision in the authority position like a parent...and that's not something done without a huge amount of trust and consent. :-/
