Overview
You're not mean-spirited -- not one tiny little bit. You can, however, be goaded -- at times -- into behavior that's beneath you. That only happens if someone shows anything less than total respect for a worthy cause or someone you love. If you've already warned them about this, or if you know they've heard about your recent dealings with someone impolite, you won't hesitate to come out with both guns blazing. And well you should.
