But there are also some seriously good ones, too.
I know - I said this wasn't an isolated incident, and it became more
common over the last few months. If you were able to piece it all
together, you'd see that some of the horrible things I have said were
in a very heated exchange, or is followed up by me - not exactly
apologizing - but elaborating in a calmer manner.

A note to Sheldon - I like reading your stuff, and I really don't mean
this in a bad way, only as a question: Have you thought back to some
of the foul, disgusting things you have said to and about people on
occasion. You are obviously, for whatever reason, not yourself when
that happens. I don't hold it against you, and it'd be nice to get
the same from you. Or not - whatever you want.

I have reasons, although not good ones, for why I keep snapping about
stuff. One is dealing with a medical problem, but it's no excuse.
There are good arguments that end up productive there, sometimes. But
it's no excuse to use whatever reasons you think you have to spew hate
about some thing or group, when it's not even necessary to the
discussion. I believe I have admitted this, said I don't like it, and
am at least doing something about it. A lot more things have happened
in the last few days than what I've said. Some of it very good, and I
hope it works.
I'm sorry this ever started to begin with, but it has also been part
of the solution.
Let's get back to food.
