Hey man, I don't know you at all, and I've never flown with you or even seen you in the arena to my knowledge. With that caveat here is my .02....
The very fact that you felt like you needed to come on the boards and publicly apologise for losing your temper just a little bit, shows that you aren't a jerk in the first place. Obviously you're a pretty solid guy from your apology and the text of your post. Everyone has moments where people get to them, don't let those moments eat at you like those people can. Stay on your high horse man! I hear the view is great.
