Often these things bubble away under the surface and it takes a good explosive purge to blow away the storm clouds.

I remember many moons back getting into a bit of an altercation on the fan-edits section with a venerable and well respected contributor to these boards over what he saw as me being too uptight and serious, trying to act as a de facto moderator on a thread I started, which I was trying to keep on topic.

It turned out there was more to what he was writing than met the eye and we parted on the best of terms.

He had let these feelings simmer unarticulated for a long time when he looked again at what he thought he was upset with it was actually something completely different.

Back then it was rather upsetting to be in the firing line as I was still rather green and even more full of enthusiasm for this organ than I am now.

I've since learned that we are all passengers.

The more you try to grab at the wheel the further you come to going off the road.

The only thing you can control is yourself and if what you say rings bells with other people that's a bonus.

If it's ignored, booed or even laughed at that's life.
