I'm not sure if that is supposed to be funny but it is. His responses to all the hate mail is rather interesting. He uses any information that you might give him about yourself as fodder for his critism cannon. You can spend alot of time reading about the stuff he hates.

I ahve seen this site before. At first I thought it was funny, now I think the dude is sorry because he is very negative. It got old pretty fast. I think that those who like picking on others would find his humour entertaining.

it can be funny if you take it as him being completely sarcastic. the minute you start thinking otherwise then you feel dirty all over.

it's one of those sites i would visit once or twice but not visit regularly.

I agree. I enjoy him bashing companies, but I don't like it when he bashes people for silly reasons. He appears to be more of a bully than anything. Using his intelligence to bash those less intellectual. The topics he touches on are not the brightest either. He tends to have a knack for pointing out the obvious and then rippiing it apart. Those that may not recognize the irony probably find it funny.....until he makes fun of them!

You bring up a good point. He is probably dealing with some issues that we don't understand. His extremely defensive nature is an indication of this. I think that it might be because he is Angry at things in general due to some major life event in his recent past, such as a family member dying. None of this excuses his actions.

We all know what anger is, and we've all felt it: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage.

Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. This brochure is meant to help you understand and control anger.

What is Anger?

The Nature of Anger

Anger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage," according to Charles Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger. Like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of your energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.

Anger can be caused by both external and internal events. You could be angry at a specific person (Such as a coworker or supervisor) or event (a traffic jam, a canceled flight), or your anger could be caused by worrying or brooding about your personal problems. Memories of traumatic or enraging events can also trigger angry feelings.

Expressing Anger

The instinctive, natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response to threats; it inspires powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviors, which allow us to fight and to defend ourselves when we are attacked. A certain amount of anger, therefore, is necessary to our survival.

On the other hand, we can't physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms, and common sense place limits on how far our anger can take us.

People use a variety of both conscious and unconscious processes to deal with their angry feelings. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger. To do this, you have to learn how to make clear what your needs are, and how to get them met, without hurting others. Being assertive doesn't mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others.

Anger can be suppressed, and then converted or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking about it, and focus on something positive. The aim is to inhibit or suppress your anger and convert it into more constructive behavior. The danger in this type of response is that if it isn't allowed outward expression, your anger can turn inward—on yourself. Anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression.

Unexpressed anger can create other problems. It can lead to pathological expressions of anger, such as passive-aggressive behavior (getting back at people indirectly, without telling them why, rather than confronting them head-on) or a personality that seems perpetually cynical and hostile. People who are constantly putting others down, criticizing everything, and making cynical comments haven't learned how to constructively express their anger. Not surprisingly, they aren't likely to have many successful relationships.

Finally, you can calm down inside. This means not just controlling your outward behavior, but also controlling your internal responses, taking steps to lower your heart rate, calm yourself down, and let the feelings subside.

As Dr. Spielberger notes, "when none of these three techniques work, that's when someone—or something—is going to get hurt."

My sister sent me a word document with the content of his "I am better than your kids page". I didn't bookmark the page and so had to come back on here to find the link.

Maybe she will join the forums also
