Great to see you Barty. Really no book? Thats a shame.
God knows Ive had my moments but when Im tempted to go nuclear on someone I try and think about their RL situations. Padraig may come across as taciturn and gruff (especially recently), but I know him as a wide eyed and amazingly friendly dude, Luka's occasionally awful behaviour and outbursts are belied by the fact that IRL hes a thoughtful, soft spoken gentleman. Tea is actually a bit of a laugh, youd be happy to have a pint with him. John Eden may come across as an authoritarian collosus who will crush you if you show dissent, and actually thats pretty much how he is.
Point is, you may not succeed, but try a bit of empathy, and if you cant muster it up, just dont reply, come back later. You dont know how much incandescent righteous fury you lot have been spared simply because I try and follow the rule to not post when Im angry.
