Reply #22: Really? Who has responded in a shrill manner? [View All]

I see no one responding in such a way. As I stated, i understand both the concerns and the motivation NOT to have a cell phone. You, on the other hand are being very derisive stating that those who own and use one can't "live without the latest pacifier," another "high-priced toy".

Please, tell me who is being shrill here? I understand and respect both POVs (necessary tool versus a hindrance to one's own autonomy and ability to focus fully on other aspects of life) because at various points of time in my life, I feel both almost simultaneously. But, I respect those on both side of the equation.
