I believe an apology is in order here... [View all]

I guess you can remove a man from Twitter but you can't remove twitter from the man...

Since returning to DU I've been a lot more combative with you than I wanted to. I've angrily lashed out and snapped back at folks I've known 15-20 years for little to no reason. I've ruined threads with hit-and-run posts and for that I'm sorry. It's no fault of your own because I've become a much darker and cynical human than the one you knew before.

I don't think I've properly put into words just how full of blind rage I am over the way this election played out. Yes, we're all mad to some degree, but I'm "go kill a bunch of people" -mad... Like I said before, the first TFG term almost killed me and I'm not certain I'll live to see the end of a second one... It's two weeks until Christmas and I don't even fucking believe in God anymore... And yes, I'm already seeking help from a mental health professional before anyone suggests it. I just wanted to apologize and tell y'all not to take my overreactions personally...
