I don't think it's anger per se. People on this list care about their ideas, they get very upset and feel emotionally involved. It might get heated up sometimes, but I don't think it's in a bad way.

I partially agree with you, but spirited debates don't have to be negative. Keep it in good cheer and discuss.
