One of us did not have to look up apoplectic in the dictionary. Nevertheless, thanks for the English lesson. It was impressive research and even more impressive cut and paste job.
Unfortunately, I hit the POST button without reviewing and should should have caught it. I will admit to an error, although it may be a fine point. I should have said you became apoplectic, not went apoplectic.
That having been said, I have learned something that I have never seen in print, but perhaps I can incorporate it in some future diatribe (if you want to search the dictionary at this point, that’s fine). And, of course, I will give you credit for the poetic license in grammar. Let’s try it.
I got the phone bill yesterday and became instructive.
I became instructive when the liberal keyed my car because of the anti-Obama bumper sticker.
When Kemp was deliberately drilled with a high and inside fastball, he became instructive and charged the mound.
I like it!
Here is where we stand. I don’t like Romney but appear not to hate him as much as you hate him. National suicide is not appealing to me. In WW II, working with Joseph Stalin was necessary for our national survival. It was against our principles, but our parents and grandparents had no choice. Reagan would deal with the Soviets later.
Consider Romney to be Joseph Stalin if you wish. For our national survival, I will deal with Romney after we get rid of Obama.

I suspect that at some point you have either read lots of fantasy or been a fantasy writer yourself.
I would instruct you, however, if you are a writer, that when the character is being calm and educational, that is never to be characterized as “apoplectic”. It is entirely the wrong word.
The Doug of the Past would have been fair.
But...whatever...Romney does that to people.
