Judas, sir, calm yourself again, please. I do not think the Marquis was dismissive as you claim. I think he was actually making quite clear why he believes what he believes, and not expecting you to accept it but explaining himself. So, again, take a minute and consider this. It was not dismissive.
I do not see that he is being inconsistent, I think he understands as well as anyone that our emotions get the better of us at times, but his point, I believe, was that yours have consistently proved to do so, and usually in a public fashion which, as you have admitted to me yourself, has at least an element of attention seeking in it. The point I believe being made, or the point that should be being made, is that he is aware when his emotions have got the better of him - hence why he made a point of saying he was restrained and did not object, whereas you often present any objection to you letting your emotions get the better of you as an injustice.
At least, that is what I read of it, but I seriously ask you, once more, to step away and think for five minutes before writing again. Tis a simple task.
