It's not really contradictory at all. I'm not really sure how you came to that conclusion. Mind blowing actually.
When you say sky is falling types. You're making the assumption that I actually say rediculous things because that's how I really feel. When I'm actually just f***ing around. I use recycled lines. That would be your first clue. When I'm angry I'm very direct as to what I'm angry about. Usually Gibbons bullpen usage. Or leaving his starter in to long.
I actually don't think the sit there and be fine crowd exists. Instead of posting rediculous things on the internet you're likely having a tantrum of some sort in your living room.
Yes when I say tightly wound. I don't understand why the littlest things set people off. It's like they are looking for reasons to be angry. Don't respond to it. It's so easy to ignore.
All I'm saying is instead of getting upset I use sarcasm and mocking as a way to express myself. Ironically that pisses others off because they don't want to read it. But for me that's part of the fun because mocking is meant to piss certain people off. And it's entertaining.
I can see how that could be annoying to people who just want to talk about Baseball. But everyone knows GDT is a bunch of rediculous instant reactions instead of well thought out thoughts for the most part.
