A coworker actually apologized to me for a previous heated lunchtime discussion about housing! In which I'm sure I threw some heat. This is actually the second time this has occurred. (Last time, it was with someone else about functional programming.) People are really nice!
Though this was a good outcome, I think I really need to remember to avoid letting things escalating. With my kid as well, actually!
