I think that you are merely using the topic of someone elses emotion to 
buttress your viewpoint in a triumphalist manner - as if to say "ha ha"

This is what I believe is juvenile - because that is an action that is often 
used in internet discussions to divert from opinions to emotions.

It is a data point for me to note that you need to resort to this and justify 
it by saying that it calms you. That I will agree with - I think you do need 
to resort to triumphalist comments to calm yourself.

But that is not necessary. one can actually conduct a civilised discussion 
without triumphalism and statements abiout other participants state of mine. 
Now don't be angry with me for saying that. :)
