Are you trying to make a recommendation or two? Not a recommendation, an inference. I said that anyone who got upset about either greeting needed professional help. You agreed with that. Then you went on to describe your reaction to "Happy Holidays" as something along the lines of a passive-aggressive outburst or a temper tantrum. Since you acknowledge both that getting upset over that calls for counseling and that you, personally, get upset over it, I inferred that you were proceeding accordingly and that you might be willing to share whatever insights you might have gleaned from your therapy. I can relate to your reaction. I've reacted that way to store policies in my life, thankfully not recently. I've worked on the issues on my own so I can't offer any third party insights either. What I've learned from my experience, though, is that the first step is to recognize that the over-reaction is MY problem and I'm the one who needs to get over it.
