Right.  The problem is the "movement" definition - the dogma.  And of
course, inappropriate or misplaced anger, which again is not synonymous
with anger.

Once again, I said a "good" angry diatribe.  And once again, I am
definitely into cooperation but what I am trying to say is that anger
itself does not equate to non-cooperation, or competition.  As long as we
can't separate healthy anger from unhealthy anger, we will continue to
equate anger with negative things, and we will continue to express it
inappropriately and/or run from others who express it inappropriately.
