That's certainly true. But these aren't the kinds of statements that can be measured in chem lab. The astute reader is sure to understand that I am stating my opinion, and based on his or her own recollections of your posting history, is free to conclude whether I am accurate.

Yep, and an astute reader noted that you were exaggerating.

For one thing, we'd have to define hysterical, wouldn't we? For another, you often accuse people of posting emotionally when neither they nor others reading think that the posts in question are emotional.
Examples?

Your exchange with Allison over her weight where you accused her of being emotional when she clearly wasn't. Any number of exchanges with me where you misread me and then apologized when I pointed it out. Guess you forgot the second part of most of those, eh?

I corrected two words you misspelled. Normally you wouldn't have, but I suspect you're posting while emotionally overwrought.

See, there you go again. *wink*
