For its comedy value. He told you in his first four lines. Mike, it
makes perfect sense, and it is also a common courtesy to read the
message before replying to it, especially so, if you are mounting such
a high horse:

Drake Ice is simply exhibiting behaviour and using language very
typical of your generation (I hasten to add you are, yourself,
comparatively rare exception!). But I was not insulted, and I do not
think many people were, just amused. And it was also quite thought
provoking, much more so than fifty previous messages telling us 'I am
only 14 and I love Euphoria cause it's the best language in the
world...' or something similarly profound.

Please, do not be so melodramatic. I am not sure which incident you
referred to there, but if you meant either Mike-the-spike or the
Everett affair, I think you were totally wrong. We are, on the whole,
much better of because of them.
