I can tell when you are getting distressed and writing from your gut.
I notice it mostly on admin.
You write with more rhetorical force and your writing has a more emotive quality to it. It is very different from when you are writing more logically and rationally - even though I can tell that you are still upset or whatever.
I think...
In a way it has to do with how upset you are feeling.
But then maybe that is what it is. Sometimes you are really upset and in emotional mode. Othertimes you are still upset but perhaps not as much so and then you write more from your rational mode.
I notice this in myself too...
Sometimes I seem to lose the rational mode altogether.
But for me... That tends to result in a civility warning ;-)
