A general apology
I'm sorry I lost it earlier and posted flame-material in the wrong forum. There's no real excuse for my outburst. I knew I was uptight, but I honestly had no idea I was that tense until I exploded like that... and then it just kept getting worse because it was in the wrong place, among other reasons.
Had I had any idea I was still feeling that volatile inside about things offline, I would NOT have been trying to post, especially in politics, so please accept my apology for not being aware I was that close to exploding. I don't explode often, so it tends to sneak up on me a lot.
I'm sorry.
Brenda

No worries. Keep a stiff upper lip around here.

Thanks Greg.
And do you know why it is when I check the box before writing the post, it doesn't always put it in the proper forum? Guess I should start checking the box after the post, it seems to clear all the time, or I must inadvertantly clear it somehow.

My God, what has happened to the Internet . . .
. . when posters appologize for flames anywhere? In the olden days this would not have been tolerated. What has become of the younger generations? They have not been properly hardened and temptered on usenet - how will they survive?

Given the profusion of binary image newsgroups...
...one might say they've been over-temptered.

Hehehe
Mostly I apologized for embarrassing Jake or cussing out Jake in the wrong forum, (i.e. making that serious mistake).
But I'm also sorry I sorta took out my feelings on anyone here. It's one thing to flame someone who deserves it, or pissed you off, but another to just blow up at someone because the conversation isn't going like you like.

Edit: I didn't intentionally take it out on anyone, but it appeared that way to people, and it's possible subconsciously I did, if that explains it any better.

Thanks, JB. :)
Once I recognized how much pent-up tension I had stored up from last week, I was able to do something more constructive to release it. :)
I feel a whole lot better today.

Oh, do get over yourself.
This is the internet. It's not real.

There is no reality
I am hooked up to a machine, The Matrix has me. I took the white pill by mistake, instead of the red or blue pills. Now I'm stuck here with the hallucinations The Matrix feeds me. Everyone else is either a computer program, or a real person like me stuck in The Matrix. Bush and Kerry are computer programs and represent the same 40 Wall Street corporations. Bush was allowed to become President because 2/3rds of US citizens did not vote, and we got penalized when people got confused in Florida.
Life is really one big soap opera, when your ratings drop below a certain level, you die. I've been lucky enough that my sufferings raised my ratings to a point that my life was spared.
Everything in this post is a lie, including this sentence.
