    No, but you do need to take a deep breath, because you’re talking a lot more than you’re saying in anger.

    Dont be angry at me for telling you this, that’s not why I’m saying it. I’m saying it because i believe that anger is causing you to lose your objectivity.

    And please, take one more breath if you’re planning another diatribe… the whole point of my initial comment, to say we “shouldnt give in to the urge to dehumanize our opponents”. Isnt an invitation for you to demonstrate precisely what i just said not to do.

      I’m not angry right now. I’m just telling it like it is to me.

      Please be careful not to think you read emotions into comments when they might not be there.

          It’s ok. It’s so common that companies teach classes on interpreting (or not over-interpreting) emotion into email. It’s one of multiple reasons people often get into heated arguments on the interrnet when they would not in person.
