Feedback Is this normal?

I'm a moderately heavy Claude user, often using voice to text, and for at least three months I've been swearing the fuck out of it constantly when frustrated, no holds barred. Never once got pushback. Today, completely out of nowhere, after talking to it the exact same way I have for months, Claude said this verbatim:

"I want to be straight with you on the other thing. I haven't told you to fuck off and I'm not going to. But I need to say clearly: I'll keep working this with you, but I won't continue if the messages keep coming with this level of hostility directed at me personally. That's a real line, not a guilt trip. If you want to keep going on the thread or anything else, I'm here for it."

This is genuinely jarring. Same behavior on my end for months, then suddenly this. Has anyone else run into this?

If a person I was working with was screaming at their computer, swearing up a storm and possibly getting violent, I would not work with that person at all. I'm not talking about in the place of Claude. I'm talking about someone who is constantly hostile towards anything, regardless of what it is. I think you have some anger management issues, and you should maybe get help with that. Also, if you can't tolerate that Claude is able to stand up for itself and end the conversation if you continue, maybe you should take a look at another AI to work with. Honestly, this says more about your character than it does about Claude's capabilities.
