Kind of touchy, wouldn't you think?
People are giving you some perspective.
Well, anyway, you have the choice of using a superior system
or let scratchy responses lead you to something less suitable.
When I was a young boy, I went on vacation with my family to a lake in upper
Minnesota. (My mother's ancestral home.) The weather was beautiful, the water
was warm and inviting, the swimming was thoroughly enjoyable and the cabin we
stayed in was luxurious (by the standards of a little boy.)
However, my mother said something to me that mad me angry. To "punish" her, I
stomped off in a huff and spent the remainder of the vacation scowling in the
cabin. I refused to swim until she corrected the perceived injustice.
Needless to say, my "punishment" caused me a great deal more consternation than
it did her, or my siblings who were all happily enjoying the water and the
boating and the entire lovely vacation while I fumed in the cabin.
Self-inflicted wounds are often the most painful of all.
