"I wish my cancer riddled grandmother wasn't suffering."
"Well, you could always just kill her! Then she would feel anything!"

You said you were fine with the original terms of service. You said you wished there was a way to select an input without agreeing to new terms. This person suggested a way to get what you asked for. You said that's not good enough. :(
