Basically the plug-in scans the email for emotions such as elation, humiliation, excitement and fear. A user can set how much emotion they want to allow in their messages and if exceeded the threshold a warning will pop up."

You appear to be expressing too much frustration. Can I suggest replacing
"If goddamn clippy pops up once more the computer' s going out the fucking window"
with
"the appearance of clippy seems to be non-optimal. This may result in displacement of the computer"

It has been annoying me for some time
It has been upsetting me for some time
It has been troubling me for some time
and finally replaced with
It has been concerning me for some time
All these mean different things.
My ability to get an erection has been upsetting me for some time
My wife's laughter at this has been annoying me for some time
It all started after I clicked on a goatse image, which has been troubling me for some time
And the quality of the Viagra pills I have been buying cheap from Taiwan has been concerning me for some time
