Other times, I'm stupid enough to post without first turning on my brain filter, and sometimes I regret it, even if I feel I was right. Other times I realize I was wrong, either in my opinion or the way I expressed it. I've been known to apologize both publicly and privately after those posts. In fact, I did at at the Dope a few days ago.
I can be an asshole sometimes. I wish I wasn't, but I'm also human and prone to emotionalism.
Yeah, it's something I'm working on improving.

I find that my "being an asshole" quotient depends on the environment in which I'm posting. On the legal messageboards where I post - where about 80% of threads are started by people either wanting to get out of a legal obligation or by people who want compensation because life sucks - it's pretty high, if only because the majority of responses are written from the viewpoint of the opposing side to the OP.
