The post itself has been forming itself in my head for far longer. I have previously covered various aspects of this topic in On the “angry” nature of my writing, Solving emotions rather than solving problems, and Sordid, anyone? […]

But I’m not sure I’ve ever covered this interesting phenomenon whereby your contributions (real or imaginary) to a community are supposed to make you immune to disagreement. […]

I do seethe, actually, in these situations. I mean, I do get angry. But it’s not like I walk around being angry all the time, it’s not like that’s my primary emotional state or anything.

I was actually thinking how reserved and thoughtful you come off in your writing before I read this. People who consider your writing angry are short-sighted.

I thought something like “if that was me, I would be seething,” but you just described the need for reform clearly. That’s not anger, that’s conviction.
