LOL, you give me such a funny mental picutre, of talking with your neighbour and wife!! you are right all yelling isn't bad, but your yelling isn't the yelling I refer to as yelling (Make sense!?) I think more for my purposes is the yelling in anger. The blow up you can't take back, and the way it sticks with you.
I remeber when I was a kid we had a wicked mean principle, who used to yell at us constantly. His whole face turned bright red, and I often though he would blow a blood vessel in his head or something! He yelled at me almost every day, and then one day he struck me. I was horrified. That is the kind of yelling I think is not necessary, the other stuff is a choice thing.
