In support of the rage of man

[Belacqua]

Yes, people are good at justifying stuff, that's convenient. Case in point: "I can't control my anti-social outbursts of emotions, but I don't need help - everybody else just needs to stop being such infuriating beta-cucks. When the end of civilization comes you're going to need people like me, because back in the days of hunting rabbits and gathering berries, blind, uncontrolled rage was our chief method of survival."  

I've been told all that stuff. There was one guy on The [S]inking Atheist Forum who told me specifically that his brand of personal rage would save us all when some kind of unspecified crisis occurred. Too many apocalypse movies, maybe. 

What puzzles me is why so many Anglophones on sites like this one think that a discussion about metaphysics is something that they have to win, by personal attack if necessary. Disagreement I understand -- everybody disagrees. But there seems to be some kind of personal rage that requires them to go beyond that. What do they expect to win? 

I'm used to it now, it's no big deal. But to me those people seem insane.
