GUEST doesn't say whether or not there were any intoxicating substances involved in this "being stupid". If so, it's pretty darned simple to solve the problem. Note that I said "simple", not "easy". It's usually not easy worth a damn.

There are a couple of Mudcatters who are pretty prone toward getting in their cups, totally misinterpreting what someone else has said, giving them hell for all the wrong reasons, and apologizing for it the next day after they've reread everything with sober eyes. It's no big deal here because it is, after all, only Cyberspace. But if the same type of thing happens regularly in 3D, then somebody needs to take a hard look at their behavior. And drinking/drugging behavior is usually the first thing to look at.
