Dear Umm:

We can continue to communicate back and forth for quite some time, if you want to, so keep posting as long as you see a point to it. About his bad temper, you asked: “How can I deal with someone who can be irritated like that?”- my answer: I would have suggestions for you to deal with a person with a bad temper if you had to be around such a person (in the workplace, for example), but because you don’t have to be around this guy, better stay away from him altogether.
