While I think there are SO many things wrong with this thread and many of benny's posts in it, I completely agree that blocking someone's exit is a dick move. It doesn't matter if you're smaller. If you make it so I have to force my way past you, you've just physically forced me to either stay where I am or physically move you. That's not how you have a mature conversation.
Do be fair, I wasn't trying to blame my wife for my feelings or my actions. I have my software, she has hers, she was standing there for her reasons, I was uncomfortable with that for my reasons.
The point was that rage isn't just a thing somebody likes to do for a hobby. It's an interaction between personalities, and it involves neurological triggers that aren't necessarily easy to shut down. And so many men and women go through these experiences that trivializing it all with labels is dangerous-- as soon as you've demonized someone, you no longer need to have a conversation about how people arrive at that moment.
