You have misunderstood my post. Not a big problem.

It is not always necessary that feelings be expressed publicly. Although, it is often very healthy. Expressing your feelings to ONE person is public. Expressing your feelings to 2 or 3 is public. What is appropriate depends on the circumstances.

You have made it clear that "cyberspace" where some people use a "nick name" is "meaningless to" (you).

I don't know what you imagine is so important about an altercation between two aliases on a message board in an almost invisible corner of cyberspace. Obviously it's important to you, but it is meaningless to me

Why would an "alias" expressing feelings in public suddenly become "meaningful??

"I have rarely seen people get angry in public at friends or co-workers- and the people who do, usually have something wrong with them (and end up rather badly off). But I would love to read about healthy angry behavior in the work place, or with friends".

How can the whole discussion of "anger" in cyberspace between people guarding their identity (some of them) be "meaningless" and yet be so compelling?

You have publicly spoken to how meaningless it is but you still think that meaningless behaviour is somehow bad or something...

It is probably somewhat complicated. I only wish to understand it.
