Anonymous Anger Rampant On the Web
the4thdimension writes "In a story that may bring out the 'duh' in you, CNN has a story about how anonymous anger is rampant on the Internet. Citing various reasons, it attempts to explain why sites like MyBiggestComplaint and Just Rage exist and why anger via the web seems to be everywhere. Various reasons include: anonymity, lack of rules, and lack of immediate consequences. Whatever the reason, they describe that online anger has resulted in real-life violence and suggest methods for parents and teens to cope with e-aggression and to learn to be aware of it." I can't figure out what makes me angrier: my habit of anonymously trolling web forums, or my video game playing.
FUCK YOU!

I prefer abominous anger. As in the snowman.

Nice job asshole, somebody already posted that fucking link.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
I agree. What this calls for is a really stupid and futile gesture on somebody's part.

WTF? Do we need to put an E (or I) in front of every-bloody-thing that might occur online? I mean really? There is no difference between 'aggression' and 'e-aggression' except for where it happens. I mean, if I get pissed off about something in the loo, is that 'P-aggression'? Or if I'm pissed at a strip club is that 'DD-aggression'?
I mean, can't you n00bs stop that crap?

The correct term is "caucasian". "European American" or even "white person" are acceptable alternatives.

Rik Powers? No way.
Marry Michelle Rohl.
Rik Rohl would be awesome.
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
So what I'm saying is that rampant nerd rage is a good thing because people get stuff off their chest...
Plus it gives you 10 strength and 50% damage resistance if your health drops below 20%.
Asynchronous anger is something different altogether, although I think you have to be married to experience.
Your spouse is always angry about something you did in the past or are about to do in the future. Theoretically they can be mad at you for what you are doing right now, but I think in practice there isn't enough room for that, so it gets shoved into some kind of complex priority queue.
