Maintaining civil comportment becomes increasingly incompatible with possession of a functioning brain. Guess I shouldn't have stopped doing drugs.

Didn't intend to direct that -> at <- you, by any means.  More as a response to 'Things As They Is.'   I didn't make that clear.  Apologies.

I know the feeling, but I had no intention of inducing that feeling in you at that time.  I have to remember that using the impersonal can lead to misunderstandings when we are talking about frustrations, etc.
