I don't necessarily subscribe to every heated word that's been uttered
here lately, but I think your interpretation is mistaken.  People are
not hysterical nor spoiled-2-year-olds, they are desperate.  Desperate
people can act like this, I'm sure you will agree.

The way to avoid this is not to cause despair in the first place.
