Literally said in the comment you replied to that I was talking about myself and nobody else (and it was never edited) so not sure why you responded with this.

Apologies, I'm not sure how, but I never saw the last paragraph

~~Righteous indignation~~ a fit of pique will do that, and I’ve been guilty in the past of the same.

No worries. I’m not painting with a broad brush, I’m recognizing myself in a way the others relate to :)

Have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night, depending where you are :D

Edit - I didn’t realize that righteous indignation has a specific religious meaning. I was aiming for less religious and more just sort of …defending the downtrodden. Is there a better word for that?

Edit 2: I learned strikethrough for this edit and it worked!!

Try the phrase "a fit of pique."

Yes that’s perfect, thank you for bringing my attention to that phrase.
