I should have corrected what I previously wrote. I could seem myself getting quite upset given the reported circumstances. But I agree with you that is my own style as well - respect and politeness mostly until I have to deal with asses. But I can understand his actions, given the stress and upset he must have been under. Then again consider why he was doing it, a perceived lack of care for his wife. From what I read about this in the Washington Post, my impression was he was very assertive about her care, and blew up when such things as strongs smells of feces and urine were in the room.
