You know, there is a very good possibility he lit off due to a chemical imbalance in his brain (seriously), whether due to the need for medication, or use of non-Rx "medication" (alcohol, any kind of dope, etc.). Heck, maybe even a lack of caffeine (or too much) could have got him wild in the head. Whatever the reason, I guess the more important thing for you is to know that as much as possible you stood above the fray. Perhaps Paul T. can weigh in on that in the perspective of how to do a better job in selecting clients to work with.
I do not deal with anger, or emotional extremes, in others very well at all. I can't begin to tell you how many relationships I clipped in my single days due to a gal getting in close, then after she felt she had me "locked in" the fangs would come out. It was like seeing a sweet person go from Zero to Bitch in 5 seconds or less <g>, and usually for no apparent reason. Very spooky. One gal actually got so bad I felt I was walking on egg shells in my own house! She was a dangerous one to get away from. Luckily I ended up relocating soon after she Bitched Out on me, and she is now over 700 miles away from me (I hope <g>)... Anyway, a person's emotional balance, and how they speak of others, is a good indicator for me when determining if I want to do business with a person or not. I prefer to live in peace as opposed to have to wonder when a shoe is about to drop on me.
