I need to apologize

[TomFoolery]

It takes a lot to recognize the chip on your shoulder and say, "Maybe there's a better way." I very often get passionate about things and it comes across as me attacking the person I'm speaking to when in all reality, I'm just angry or frustrated about the situation.

Speak for yourself ... I am controlling major world events using my aluminum foil hat from my mother's basement ;-)

I would, but my mother died in 1992, but I could control it all from the garage here at Sylvia's place...
For some reason that reminds me of some graffiti I saw in a public bathroom..
My mother made me a homosexual and if you buy her the wool she'll make one for you too..

That is a pretty bad holiday sweater, if it changes your sexual orientation!  I would hate to see what a bad fruit cake could do!!

I don't feel you need to apologize. There are people on this forum that are every bit as angry and resentful as you are. The only difference is that they have learned how to express their disdain for their detractors in a more formal way. Its polite(ish) and well structured and more focused, but the gist of it is still "fuck you and the horse you rode in on".

All you're really doing is apologizing for being more up front than others.

Sorry I don't really know you well enough to be constructive. I think I've missed most topics or maybe I just wasn't really interested in them (sorry) to have an informed opinion here.

It takes a lot to offend me as I have a thick skin (iron armor) and I generally don't care what others think unless they are important to me and have already earned my respect.

Hopefully you can learn to be less angry in the future.  I've been there, and it sucks.  When a rage is burning through you there is no chance of being happy, and when it's done you're just exhausted and tired.  A more constructive way to deal with the shit you're going through is not only better for those around you, it's better for you as well.
