DH, I try to understand why you do the things you do. That's how I am able to work with you despite you exploding all the time over nothing. I just have to look at it as if you can't help it. But there comes a time to draw the line. Just because you apologize, doesnt make up for the fact you have these paroxysms.
It's obviously too much to ask you to curb your knee-jerk responses and illogical rhetoric when you are in the midst of an eruption, so I ask the community to temper their initial reactions to the things you say. I am less concerned about the things you say to me than I am about how others that dont know you may think of you and what you say.
99% of the time you don't care what others think of you, but like I told you a long time ago, your stature now, in the community is one where the things you do and say have a lot of weight. You can hurt and damage someones feelings or reputations and a simple apology will not suffice to make amends.
So I say with the utmost sincerity, STFU! Next time you start typing furiously, stop and go pop a diazepam pill. You will be doing the community a favor. And you owe us a few now.
