I can relate. Though usually I lose my temper on my blog and rant the bejesus out of something ;). I find that an excellent outlet for my emotions. Not everyone agrees, but a good rant can clear the air very quickly. May I chime in and just say that all out ridicule is unnecessary. It may be good natured (I'm Irish - and I can be a wonderfully sacastic git at times) but it easily becomes offensive in large enough doses. So in turn, I apologise if the sarcasm of my original response offended. It was intended as a mild jab that perhaps missed the mark on the good natured scale.
