why is getting mad considered such a bad thing?

Its unhealthy to keep it bottled up.

This is also wrong. If you 'let it out' you have a short term relief that feels good, but longer term your brain starts to associate the expression of anger as a reward mechanism and encourages the aggressive anger release behavior. So bottling it up is better for you in the long term, unless you don't give a shit about being an aggressive prick that nobody wants to associate with, in which case let it out all you want.

Captain America: Dr. Banner... now might be a really good time for you to get angry.
Bruce Banner: That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry.

the topic of that discussion was the housing crisis and instead of adding anything to the conversation like I did, you go and find my pic from the rl pics thread and create a meme to harass me, and use it over and over again without my permission. How am I supposed to not to get angry over that?

And now to add insult to injury your buddy Lexical is threatening to contact my employer and get me fired for being a so called racist?

and I'm not supposed to commit any emotion to any of that?

Again, let's see you post a pic of yourself on the forum and see how it feels. Lets see how you like it when someone tells you they're going to get you fired.

Your a GD monster, I truly hope Karma exists and you get back all this negativity 10 fold.

I'm sorry this is happening Dredge. Unfortunately what's happenig to you happens a lot because there are always individuals in every group that need to harass others, it makes them feel important.

Think of the internet like a giant middleshcool. Everyone is trying to create a persona for themselves and will go at any lengths to get a leg up. I would suggest not posting pictures of yourself or revealing any personal information in the future.

There are some psychos out there, that whole gore thing that went around on the boards a while ago (I viewed the worst pictures I have ever seen, and hope to ever see in my life) and that taught me a lesson. It's your job to protect yourself, if you don't you generally can only blame yourself.

Play the game, have fun but don't believe everyone you meet will generally respect you as a person, it just won't happen. Take measures to protect yourself and learn to let those individuals that just won't let up to just slide off your back. They are the very very very vocal minority, most people just want to have fun like you.

Live and let live, live and learn.

Heh, Dredge posted some really gory stuff in RnF not too long ago. I think one picture was the pieces of a guy who was blown to bits by a land mine or something. Regardless, Dredge definitely is not the most wholesome character.

He is still alright in my book, but I am split between him actually taking the flaming so seriously that he has been mentally broken or if this whole thing is an elaborate troll. The flames actually died down many times and everyone dispersed, but dredge would reignite them in some way or another. This post being another.
