There is a lot of anger in the world. A lot of it is justified. To express it in our communications is not always and only a bad thing. Of course, there is the added weirdness of e-mail in general which definitely tends to exacerbate misfirings in communication. It is a bad thing thing when venting becomes a substitute for dialogue, but I do not think there is *usually* much sign of that in transhumanist fora.
