    I do apologize, I don’t love putting more vitriol and negativity out there in the world I’m just fed up. There’s no great defense and it’s something I’m trying to work on. I appreciate your insight

      I know from personal experience that it’s easy for anger to override your better judgement. It’s hard to overcome, but it can be done, and it’s well worth it. I appreciate that you’re making the effort!
