Aggression? Oh, I had that. I had a nasty temper when I was a child and went to a psychologist to learn to control it. I'm better now. :) Actually, I was a bit too much in control. When I started writing, Judith always told me I was using a 'passive' voice. I notice even now that unless something really (really, really) pisses me off, I tend to downplay it. But once something hits my threshold, I let loose. I've had loooooong rants about the code I'm working with over here at mothernature. I've threatened to "do things that would shock the marque de sade" to the people at beyond solutions (I don't care much for their code). I vent verbally, but I do vent. You know, I'm going to have to talk to a psychologist to make sure that I am functional and don't need any 'help'. Great, another thing to do. :)
