Nola, It's all good bro.
Relax, Don't take this stuff too personally.
When it gets to the point that you absolutely have to get on the boards, to clean up something you said, or respond to someone or some post, it turns into something less than fun and going back and forth with people you actually have a lot in common with.
If it gets to be more of a hot heated back and forth and you cant seem to get out of some damned quarrel or something, Then step back, take a little break, stay on the sports or Saloon site and relax a little.
No one thinks less of you if you quietly step out of a heated conversation and move on to something more pleasing and fun.
I see a lot of myself in your posting. I'm a hot head too.
I can easily tell when someone spins you up. Then, I can easily tell when you respond, all spun up.
It's all Good Nola.
