In and of itself? Nothing; that's why it's only semi-psychotic. However, there is some correlation between a person commiting virtual violence and a person commiting real violence, and that makes it mildly worrysome. I'm pretty sure you are harmless, however.

By the way - Is it still your turn in the MOTMA thread?

yes, it is. i will post. as soon as my head doesn't feel like it's frying.

well, i do have a temper. a rather bad one. and i tend to be sarcastic. i know my sarcasm is a way for me to let off steam, but i never really thought about the hammer's like that. thanks.

despite my temper being my worst problem, it's also the one i've got the best grip on. i'm not sure this is reassuring, but once i was blessed with self-control, i never hit anyone more than once, and never anyone who hadn't made a deliberate attempt to provoke me. before that, i was a spaz-kid.

so, i guess making jokes about it is my way of defusing tension.

uh, on a side not to everyone, if i ever insist you 'shut up', it'd be a good idea. that's the stage, part of my self-control, right before i hit someone.

i wonder if i'm scaring Atrocities again?

^and more humorous defusement^

i suppose it helps that i really am a nice guy with a good sense of humor.

Don't worry about it too much; it's only some correlation, not a lot, and corrolation is a very far cry from causation.

Also, symbolic violence is just one of a list of twenty or thirty warning signs; if someone only has five or six of them, it's a very low probability danger. If someone has half or more, it almost certainly is a problem. As far as I know, you've got maybe two or three. Don't sweat it too much.

Besides, you live in Canada, right? I'm like a thousand miles away. What could you possibly do to me in RL?

Hmm this sound a bit like some semi serious non-nonsense in the nonsense thread. Think you'd better get your hammer our narf.
