Hypersensitive(again, one of the main diagnostic symptoms for list members is hypersensitivity to other's comments/behaviors etc.) concerning *incoming* stimuli, but what happens to this quality with the outgoing response??? I think in cases where the hypersensitivity is *extreme*(ppl are at different places with this), everything is just viewed as a harsh, personal attack, and the person lashes out in "defense". This particular person displayed "foaming at the mouth" anger with me. Another *very* good possibility (told to me from another *wise* source ;) is that sometimes people may not not actually have XYZ "condition", just because they have subbed to XYZ list. People aren't always sure themselves... This might explain a *lot*... Thankfully(understatement!), this happenstance was the exception in severity, not the norm, and ninety+ per cent of the list members have great respect for one another, the list owners, and list rules...
