Loopy,

I am sorry for lambasting you--when I get upset, I tend to go overboard, and this has been a bad week. We have family who live near the WTC--my sister-in-law's husband was missing for a while--he was trapped in the street below, and barely escaped the collapse--and, if not for a Dr.s app't, she would have been in the bldg--my wife and several family members knew Father Mike (the NYFD chaplin)--and several close friends have family members and co-workers missing--

Troll,

Loopy tends to wind up and run off, which, as I see above, is a habit that he is aware of, rather than an indication of sociopathic tendencies--I was talking about comments that he has made in other threads that annoyed me. When I get wound up, I tend to unload stuff I've saved up, not necessarily germaine to the immediated discussion, possibly in a manner similar to the way that Loopy does--He acquits himself of my concerns, both admirably and directly in the ATTACK ON ARAB AMERICANS MUST STOP THREAD--
