       I'm baffled by this exchange I just had with a forum member in one of my groups. He recently sent me a couple dozen small screws for my builds, and then he approached me about some hard to find transistors for a build he was doing. I didn't read it as a joke (text, etc..) but he asked if the screws wouldn't be an even trade for the transistors. Some of them are vintage and cost me decent money, so I told him I would charge for those but give him the inexpensive ones in trade. This was his reply.

       @Ricardus what the actual fuck, man? Yikes. Generously thinking maybe it is just something that came off badly via email?

       @jdarnold @Ricardus even if it is a misunderstanding, his resorting to insults is totally unhinged. Sad

       @cs @jdarnold yeah, It was actually traumatizing because it reminded me of the way my brother with narcissistic personality disorder used to treat me. It actually triggered a anxious fight or flight response and my heart rate is still elevated.

       @jdarnold @cs Yeah. People need to act with more kindness and empathy. It's an old saying, but you never know what kinda day the guy on the other end of the phone had.

       @robs because of some history I have with abusive people this was actually traumatizing.
