Smallship posted his thoughts on astrology (http://smallship1.livejournal.com/603554.html) a few days ago, and I commented several times. And a bit more here (http://smallship1.livejournal.com/603949.html), where I also commented.
My post that I linked to above was prompted in part by all the attention being paid (by a number of people on my flist) to the issue.
Smallship1 sometimes puts responses in his journal to stuff I wrote in mine (and vice versa, which I do either because he has closed comments or because I want to deal with something in more depth than a comment allows.) I'm pretty sure that he is responding to my post in particular because I looked through his friends list for the time period between his earlier posts and this one, and I'm the only one who posted anything on the issue.
As for why he is so angry--well, aside from the fact that I openly criticized an idea he was trying to, in some measure, support, I'm pretty much coming up empty.
Sometimes people are upset about something else and it just flows out all over some minor thing that wouldn't ordinarily bother them.
