Ah shit, that sounds like a fuckin rotten experience. Sorry you had to go through it. i always wonder, when I have fantastically social failures like that: how could i tune the knobs to make this go better with this specific type of person, who sees me in this way... like if I did this 10 more times with 10 more hot-heads, I wonder what I'd learn about what he responds better to. I'm sure there are parts of who I am that I can't talk around, but still. And not that I have the nerve to keep putting myself in that situation...! Anyhow, makes me curious from a distance, but to be clear, I'm not judging that there's anything else you could've done :)
