If this is how you reply to people, ESPECIALLY privately, and during weak moments, your Internet privileges are hereby revoked. Your status as a decent human being isn't looking good either. Get control over yourself. Also realize that if you were to reply to someone like this in private, you are doing more damage to the community than if you did it in public. At least if you do it in public, we can rip you apart for it. A mailing list is not there to provide you with punching bags for when you have a bad day.
