Joss felt Tim was filled with rage and couldn't imagine working with him on a daily basis. He later realized that Tim had been working on the X-Files, and after meeting several other angry X-Files writers, realized the rage stemmed from the fact that they worked on the X-Files

Yes, Joss thought I was rage-filled. Howard Gordon was the guy who kept insisting I take the meeting with Joss. He really felt it would be a match. When both Greenwalt and Joss reported back to Howard that they thought I was "the angriest man they'd ever met" he was astonished and said, "have you met yourselves? Tim's just exactly like you two!" Heh.
So how's the rage doing these days, Tim?
I have to admit, I didn't realize I was rage-boy at the time, either.
In retrospect, do you think you were?
Tim's just exactly like you two!" Heh.
Hee. I seem to recall Joss expressing some rage in-print a couple of years after Rosanne.
In unrelated news, I have two sick kids at home. I am full of ennui.

Careful! That's what did Neville in!
