I'm sorry for losing my shit and inflicting it on you.

I think I'm better now. At the very least, I'll try to not post on the board if I lose my shit again.

I think you gotta take it out on someone, and the internet is probably better than people in real life.

Seems like the perfect use of a troll though.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable

This particular application could not have translated to a troll. It could, however, have translated to me not being on the board at all, which is what I should have done.

Of course, it's easy to say that after the fact when I'm thinking rationally.

I can think of a few people/forums that would be good if you ever need to lose your shit.   :D

Actually losing one's shit does not typically lend itself to rational thinking such as "hey I am losing my shit, I should go torment these people over here" but if you want to give me the links I might torment them just for fun.

I just have to say I don't really get the point of taking it out on anyone on the internet, friends or foes.  I mean, when I get pissed off, it never occurs to me to come here and get cranky with you lot.  Seems counter-productive.  I'd much rather go play music or do something physical to work through whatever is bugging me. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

You are right, going and doing something else is a better kind of response. I am not talking about being cranky or pissed; that is easy enough to deal with.

Never mind.

i think i know what you mean.
this is the sort of thing that you only realize in hindsight.
at the moment you feel as if you are completely right and everyone who opposes you is wrong.
:( i've been there once or twice.

i'm glad you are still here.

Thanks! :)

Just in case anyone is worried, I'm not going to turn all nicey-nicey or any shit like that, I'm still going to be the same abrasive old Nigel. And I just want to make it clear: I'm not sorry for getting angry with some people. What I am sorry for is being a gigantic, irrational, hyperemotional, paranoid freak.

Yay!

Say Nigel, what's that avatar from?  An old movie?  I can't shake the feeling I've seen her before in some B-movie I saw as a kid.
