Probably better not to shout in the first place.
It was friendly fire, nothing serious. haha
> friendly fire

Yeah I don't think you are using this phrase correctly

Just trying to fit the jargons...
That reply doesn't make sense either. Sounds like you're just a "bad person" haha
I could be, but thats subjective, lol!
is that how someone gets cancelled?
"Friendly banter" is the word you are looking for.
Friendly fire is when you shoot someone from your own team.
Even if he blocked it by accident, that is not a reason to shout.

Shouting will not prevent errors, and you are only creating a hostile work environment where not acting is better than the risk of making a mistake and triggering an aggressive response from your part.

It wasn't aggressive exchange, but will definitely consider your comment.
There is nothing else to do since CF is down... so.

There is nothing wrong with shouting during a perceived outage. Shouting is just raising your voice to give a notion of urgency. Yelling is different.

How often have you heard "shout at me", or something like that?

OP, continue you to shout when its needed, just don't yell at people you work with ;)

If he needs to apologize then his shouting was of the yelling kind
Doesn't matter whether it is shouting or yelling.
Don't worry beer gonna fix everything
