I've got the "anger issue" as well since one week into MLS. I can tell, because I'm very intense at debating right now, and standing up for any issue I might believe in.
Before, I was more live and let live. Now, it's almost as if I see a scientific or philosophical opinion as something that ought to be broadcasted as part of my identity, even if it makes new enemies. They can take it or leave it.
Lost one female friend over it, and another one is standoffish. I care a bit, but not much.
These two quotes seem to elaborate on the underlying principle of the sentiment:
Carl Sagan: "Valid criticism is doing you a favor."
and:
Carl Sagan: "[We should not be] willing to tolerate ignorance and complacency."
I still think there's something balancing itself out with this "anger issue". However, I'm still thinking about why this is happening.
