The Descent into Madness

Last week, a fellow at a bar became unhinged and screamed at me until he had to be restrained.  It was the first time in my adult life that I've had a near-violent confrontation in a bar.

A few days later, a woman I've known twenty years sent me the exchange below, offline.
