No, it's a good point. I was wondering about that myself.

I, of course, would like to think I'm nifty! enough that I don't let how
things go in one group influence how they go in another, and especially not
to the point of lambasting a recently decloaked lurker... but perhaps I have
feet of clay after all?

We have touched on this in the past, how vitriol can leak, and how ill
feelings can be carried over, and I guess had I snapped at Bill Farkas it
might have been more defensible. (??) But I think what made it worse is that
I managed to be quite civil to Bill Farkas in the thread about the letter to
Lego, while snapping at an unrelated bystander in a different one.

Ok, no, it's not really more defensible to have snapped at Bill either.

In hindsight, I came down WAY too hard on Christopher and I am not going to
stand behind any "but the devil/.debate made me do it" defense, it was just
unacceptable...
