My goodness, Health.

Listen, I too have been caught in the trap you are in now. I too have occasionally taken the blog too seriously, and taken personal offense at anonymous posters who are for all intents and purposes, “make believe acquaintances” (although there are very real people behind the screen names, and I’ve had my share of feeling horrible for hurting a poster).

You are getting very riled up. Please be careful; you’re not doing yourself any favors. I mean that sincerely. Whether you agree with a post or not, don’t fall into the trap of anger.

Take a deep breath, and say to yourself, “I have responsibilities in life, and they don’t include getting into arguments on the internet”. Ask yourself if this argument is helping or hurting you.

Please don’t take offense; I’m writing because a number of your threads across various posts indicated some sort of very strong emotion, and that’s a sign of a poster taking the threads much too seriously. If something needs to be said, you can state it in a depersonalized manner, without insults or fierce emotion, and you are guaranteed to feel better when walking away from the computer.

I hope you have taken these words with the goodwill in which they were written.
