"I can pretty much tell if it a regular poster that is Just a scence I suppose xx" People THINK they can guage mood. I'd venture to say that in isolation of animation , gesticulation and tone that it's not really possible. Unless someone states it clearly. Even a rant is not always in anger. Do you agree ? | |||

"What is anger ? How do you tell from someone's posts/messages if they are angry? " Anger is merely an anagram of range. Range is the spectrum of something or maybe someone's feelings that flucuate dependent upon circumstances at the time. Everybody has opinions that range from quiet to subtle, from quick to useless and from calm to anger to ultimate rage. If everybody had the same thought process then life would be a whole lot different. It is so very easy to cast aspersions and be judgemental based upon an individuals' feelings. Our anger issues are very much all temperamental thoughts that are easily accentuated by peoples' negative opinions about others or enhanced and embraced by positive attitude. All too often people are getting castigated simply because of their 'take on things'. To add insult to injury because some are unable to 'fathom the situation' they corrolate an already difficult issue into a nigh on impossible one. We do not need to be angry but merely constructive with our choice of opinion. Voicing your opinion is communicatively brilliant but at the detrimental expense of someone else's feelings is strictly incomprehensible. | |||

Obviously people have got angry on the forums before now, but lots of people mistake being blunt / passionate about something or amazement at what has been written as anger." Great post. I think it's difficult to remain "angry" on a forum, partly due to a lack of actual confrontation. If we (collectively) look back on times when we have been angry with someone, it's because we are backed into a corner, (on the phone, in person), where it can be difficult to walk away. On a forum, we just have to take a deep breath and not go back to the thread, anger diminishes, into reasoning. Perhaps the question is how does anger occur in the first place? Frustration? Deliberate baiting? Opposition of _iews (no offence _iew)? Reading the same 5 threads about "all xx are yyy"? Each one of the above may promulgate anger, if the thread poster is then belittled, chastised or insulted without consideration of their own opinion. Good question Granny! ![]() | |||
