I was using "disease" in a humorous way, not intending to fall down the trap of diagnosing real psychological disorders in people I only know via the mailing list. In particular, I often find that my impression of people changes dramatically, for both better or worse, when I meet them in real life. I think a more accurate description of *my* tendency to respond excessively and repetitiously is "being a childish asshole", but YMMV.
