happy to say it? when I say something like that, it is because someone or something has totally pissed me off.

That's the thing, then, don't get so worked up about things that are said on a screen. Even if they are important to you. Sometimes I read things that don't sit well with me, and I just stay quiet. I could get into a rant about this and that, but I don't. It's the old saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all". It's also less time consuming.

Otherwise people get an image of "guy with a short fuse". And that's not a good image.

Leonardo is now the "called Warb a brat" guy and has expressed a degree of regret which suggests it doesn't sit with how he sees himself.

Of course. It's one of those occasions where I overstep my bounds, and I realize I have done so, and made and ass of myself and I try and fix it.

In short, just like "don't drive angry"(1), don't post angry.

I prefer you as the *sigh* guy that's for sure.

A hundred years from now, I see a gravestone with Warb's name and a big *sigh* under it. ;)

(1) You wouldn't wanna be in the car with me when I do. It's scary. I'm actually a safer driver when tipsy.
