He ended with it, rather than started with it, but then he did start by admitting he needed to cool down and had overreacted.

It’s good enough for me, I guess. I understand his frustration and while I think his losing it like that was inappropriate no matter how pissed he was, I’m not gonna continue to harp on it. He’s backed down and I’d rather things cool off than continue to simmer for days.
