As quick as I know my temper can be, the same holds in reverse - I can calm down quickly (usually). I let my temper flare on a thread and in chat and I owe some apologies.
I am not one for excuses, but I am all for explanations. So the following here is not an excuse, just an explanation of why I have been on a short fuse. As many of you know this has been a real bad month in the real world. I know we all have them, we all deal with them. One of my biggest problems has been life without a car, that changes though in about an hour (woohoo). But all of it has gotten me down like it does anyone from time to time.
Anyway when your having a bad month it is hard to remember that not "everyone" or everything is directed at you personally, or climbing on your back. That was the state I was in this afternoon as I read and heard about some of the things going on. In the end I lost it. I flamed a newbie here who is by all accounts a great guy, I even picked a fight with someone I consider a good friend, someone who personally has helped me out when I needed it.
By now those of you who I owe this apology to know who you are. I am really sorry. I hope you accept my apology and believe me when I say I "hate" eating crow. But an apology that is truly ment is given in humbleness, as this one is ment to be.
