"broke the camels back" -- it sounds like this was some binary event, like "once he did this, I discounted everything he done as ruined by his behaviour.

I'll ask again because you didn't actually answer my question. What do you mean by "discounted"?

I know what the word "discount" means.

When I say "what do you mean by 'I'm discounting'?", is "What do you mean when you say that I'm regarding a possibility as being unworthy of consideration?" What possibility are you referring to that I'm regarding as being unworthy of consideration?
