If anyone cares.
I was recently called out a little bit for being too smart assed on a thread.

I agree.
I thought that the title "the awful happened!!!!" when all that had gone wrong was a vigorous fermentation, was a little too dramatic.
But I need to remember, that we can never know what someone has been through, or exactly where they are coming from.
I guess I was trying to be funny, so I informed the guy that the next thing he would ask about was the white stuff in his fermenter. I pre-emptively informed him that it was yeast.
Turns out the guy has 20 or so brews under his belt and didn't need to be told that. Someone else pointed out that I have not even paid for a membership, so "why did I have so much to say?".
I didn't take my own advice about not assuming that I know where someone has been, I hope you can all do better than I did.
I have had the most tumultuous year of my life, and intend to "Pony Up" as soon as I can. But hopefully you won't assume that I am just a jerk here for a free ride.
I don't feel that I should limit my input to this forum because I have more pressing needs right now, but I cannot expect people to give me the benefit of the doubt when I myself have been negligent in that respect.
Worst of all, my recent stresses have probably made me more likely to vent on someone wrongfully.
I sincerely apologize to anyone here, and I intend to do better.
