Anger is the loss of self-control and granting others the ability to control your feelings. People will often take advantage of the loss of self-control you yielded. Anger isn't power, it is the lack of it -- and self-control.
Often these angry people think others are preoccupied with their feelings, but in reality they aren't. This natural instinct worked well in the caveman days, and in real life people in your physical environment have to deal with you, but the level of effectiveness on the internet is weak to non-existent.
And the easiest way to deal with angry people is to provoke them and make them more angry. This is what you see in real life when someone loses control and gets hauled away, and people are laughing.
Challenge to the "The Angry Quakers": What has your anger accomplished? Are you closer to your goals? I think curious minds want to know. And you are invited and encouraged to participate in this thread. Plus Poll!!
Not your conventional news post, but this is issue important to raise for the community -- and really long overdue and something we keep brushing under Quake's rug --- today is the day to address it. For a better tomorrow. Hey, Frenzy did a totally non-Quake news item last year about the death of Steve Jobs. That's my excuse ... and I'll take it. I call it the "Frenzy manuever"
