Hyperbole? You sure? Is so, was it really necessary to _repeat_ the threat? That seems to me to show _determination_. And is it really fucking necessary, or acceptable, to express rage in this manner anyway? Especially when the poster himself admits, “I am prone to occasional fits of rage that can include violent behavior.” If it’s hyperbole, and the OP wishes to act in a childish manner, so be it. But what I see is a threat, a repeat of the threat and an admission of occasional acts of violence. Sounds like plenty of reason for concern.

Pissed off enough to throw them a beating? That’s intelligent. As I said, intolerance. And what class of people are you speaking of? Those with jobs? That’s the only characteristic defining the OP’s “class” I see in the OP.
