YES. Thank you. Anger is as important of an emotion as any. I definitely don't think a person should be considered "weak" for being angry- unless he or she allows their anger manifest itself innapropriately. Simply "accepting" something you strongly disagree with is weak. It takes a lot of courage and self confidance to stand up for what you believe in and defend the things that matter most to you. However, it takes an equal amount of courage to refrain from going ballistic.

I think everyone gets angry, including you, Tynan; but your method of dealing with the situation is never explosive. Just because you don't let things that would make most people lose their temper affect you longterm, does not mean they don't make you angry. You just have enough self control to make the transaction from "pissed off" to "constuctively working through the problem" instantanious.

Both these methods of problem solving are 100% acceptable and effective; some people just need a little fuel to get their engine going.
