That's right.  And I'm glad to say that I did not impute bad faith to
your words.  What I said is that you were raging, speaking with
aggression, and that that is unkind.

Following these guidelines is not always easy.  Even while making an effort,
one can fail to do it well.  Talking with someone that engages in verbal
aggression is stressful, and stress makes one more likely to make mistakes
oneself.

That's part of the reason it is important for you to make an effort 
to stop your aggression.

What matters to this discussion is that it's verbal aggression and it
causes stress for the rest of us.
