"Are you guys talking about Richard Wells? I don't know if he is considered a professional or not but he seems to be pretty angry because I refuted his claim that molecular systematics is a theory and thus not reliable. I guess different people manage their anger differently. Wells is telling a fictional story to vent his anger apparently."

I am CRUSHED, absolutely CRUSHED that someone would think that I am angry. (yes, I AM being sarcastic). And don't suggest therapy, because my wife is a psychologist, and she gave up long ago...When I first met her, she thought that my interest in biology "was the most obscene over-reaction to a deprived childhood" that she had ever experienced. (well, at least she can cook).
Now on this anger business, you of all people should not confuse a desire for a fight, with mere "anger"...Please, do not flatter yourself in thinking that you are capable of inciting me to anger CKing, because better eagles than you have tried that. If my humble Scottish/Irish/Welsh ancestry has given me anything it is the good humour and eternal patience to accept the dictates of others until I am ready to strike back. My opinion on some issues should not necessarily be taken to be all that I have to say...it could also be seen as peaceful contemplation, to explore the depths of another's understanding...while I slowly sharpen my axe. I have found that it is generally a mistake to underestimate someone with a sense of humour, red hair, and beady eyes under black bushy eyebrows. Unless this description fits you, I would kindly suggest that you tread carefully when judging me...
I must go now. I have to pick a fight with my neighbour Mr Norman Bastard whose family have long been feuding with mine...otherwise the day will have been a total waste...
