Those sets of reactions sound very familiar.

Although, I can be firm with people if I'm pretty darn sure I'm right, even if I don't get actively angry with them. My problem is that at some point I just find it hard to convince myself that it's worth the effort. Just reading about your process with this makes me tired. -_-

Not that I'm arguing against all the people urging you to nail the bastards to the wall. By all means do, as long as you can do it without destroying yourself in the process.
