"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"?
"regard (a possibility or fact) as being unworthy of consideration"
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?
