Except the part about being “badass”, which is probably the least like I feel, and is probably the least likely I ‘teach’ to anyone. “Weak-willed enough that I got counterproductively angry, and depressed” is closer to how I feel after I get more involved in a thread than I should have.
I should probably wait a couple hours before I reply to a post that annoys me—by then I’ll probably be able to better evaluate if a reply is actually worthwhile, and in what manner I should respond.
