One thing that always strikes me about the personal ethics of Extremely Angry people is that they've got space for all kinds of ethics.
Except ethics concerning the appropriate expression of anger.

So relentlessly harranguing people for extremely minor breaches of ethics in very angry ways is treated as just.
This has a net negative effect on the system it is "meant to help".

I think there are all sorts of situations where anger is justified. And situations where seemingly excessive anger is justified as a form of deterrence.
This is a small minority of the situations people with persistent anger problems will get very angry in.

There is an equal and opposite problem of people refusing to get angry in situations where it is extremely appropriate.
But that's another story.

There's an addiction problem as well. Being angry feels *good*. Not as good as comtentment or bliss, but nevertheless.
And people who have trouble actually staying content often default to it even when there is no real justification.

While persistent contentment or bliss is good for your health and those around you, persistent anger is a stressor both on you and your surroundings.

Anger is an emergency response, for when something is fucked and needs immediate attention.
If it becomes a persistent habit, it's about as healthy as shooting up adrenaline daily.

At first, I was angry that Twitter invalidated (presumably) millions of legacy tweeted twitter SERP links
I was stunned nobody was tweeting about this
Now I understand I'm one of very very few people doing this regularly
No wonder I can't find the others. There aren't any

It's too nerdy, and the UI does nothing to reveal this feature or make it conveniently usable.
