> Scott, I was really glad to see your apology. I was having the hardest time understanding why you were reacting so strongly to glenn's post! I notice you can be a pretty reactive guy. What's that about? (I am asking in a friendly way, not as a challenge)
That's a good question. Thanks for asking it. Coming from you, I wouldn't have taken it as an adversarial challenge anyway.
I'm not totally sure. I have an idea as to what's involved, but it's pretty complex. A great deal of my tendency to be reactive comes from having a lack of human contact for ten years. I have yet to establish some balance. When I get well, I will have to find balance once again. For now, my make up seems to be mixture of seemingly contradictory features.
I admire people like andrewb, who are not so combative and who approach situations with a head more level than my own. I consider his example and the examples set by others here to be a good opportunity to learn and grow. I know that fierceness will always be integral to my personality, but I will learn to temper it.
