You don't stop being flesh and blood human being if:

- I'm mad at you.
- You're mad at me.
- You've got an issue with something somebody said here.
- You've got an issue with someone because somebody said something somewhere else - and I didn't defend you. Over there. *pants*

Honestly.

If what you do hurts when someone does it to you, you don't get to do it here. That's the measure of how I control the traffic here.

You want to smack someone, take it outside - now that you've found someone you wish to smack. It's entirely possible here - but as long as you wish to speak legitimately, honestly and reasonably - come on in. Sit down. Pet the cats.

But I'm not going to tell you how to feel, what to do or leverage you to change OR ELSE. Just, behave in a fashion everyone can live with.

I can understand being REALLY angry. But mind, I keep really angry people on short leashes and expect them to calm down and then tell me what the issue is. And then remain calm, centered and interested in resolving the issue. It may not be resolvable! But - geez, don't make it worse by poking each other with sharp sticks. I don't do that, and I'll cool things off when I see that starting up. Don't take it personally.

(Jeebus, please don't give me the opportunity to show that I WILL do this across the board to anyone. Just. No.)

Again:

- Always do your best. (Even when you don't want to - that's key.)
- You make a mess, clean it up. Always clean up your own messes.
- And be aware of your impact on others. This one can get pretty difficult at times.

And I fight only when attacked. (see icon)
