It seems some folks have difficulty believing that what is said in the heat of the moment, what happens on a, track doesn't have to carry over to life outside the track.

A couple of decades ago I worked for a company that had an office in Italy; I was in a meeting with two Italian colleagues and one was really upset at some changes I proposed, calling me an idiot and every other Italian word for it. Lots of gesturing, too, ofc. I was a bit taken aback, having never experienced behavior like that, at least not at work (I'm scandinavian and we tend to be more at the opposite side of the scale when it comes to showing emotion).

After the meeting he walks up to me, all smiles, asking if I'd like to join him and some others for drinks.

That was perhaps a bit extreme, but to him work was work and what he thought of me and my ideas in that setting didn't mean he thought any less of me as colleague/friend/dude to hang out with.
