Good to know, Miss Internet Psychologist.

if somebody is scaring their nearest and dearest with the violence of their outbursts over something this minor, they might have a problem

and you don't need to be a psychologist, of the internet variety or otherwise, to realize that

This is really not that minor. That an anti-science viewpoint is expressed by a major corporation is very, very troubling.

So don't eat there; write a letter to corporate about it; write a letter to the editor or something. Subjecting your poor cats to screaming rages is a lot more troubling.

I think people are allowed to yell in anger about something. Even if it unintentionally scares the family pet.

there are plenty of things people are allowed to do, that are still red flags for a serious lack of a sense of perspective or self control. If you're the type to erupt in rage over a restaurant's facebook page, sure, get down with your bad self, but don't blame other people if they decide to stay away from you.

Holy fucking shit you are just hellbent on insisting this person is mentally ill. Maybe they did it one time. Maybe they'll never do it again. Maybe they do it frequently. YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW, and some random anonymous dogchugger on the internet is not qualified to make a call about the person in question's mental state.

I'm marveling at how you've commented more times on this thread than I have, yet I'm the only one who's "hellbent"? I don't think so!

any insult you throw at me for responding to you, you've merited equally well for responding to me.

If anything, you're hellbent on insisting that OP is a beautiful noble person who could not possibly have any anger management issues.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Oh, go play with yourself.

Uh that is kind of the definition of anger management issues: experiencing anger that is dramatically out-of-proportion to the thing they're getting angry about.

Yes, but you don't know whether this is a continuing, chronic problem or a one-off, especially if this is a subject dear to the OP's heart (it IS kind of scary that a major corporation is adopting such an anti-science stance.)

According to OP, it seems like it might be a continuing, chronic problem, complete with acting out in actual violent ways.

From above -- "I've punched people who have told me to calm down."

It doesn't mean they're mentally ill, but that IS kind of a problem. Yeah, it's really, really not good that a major corporation is anti-science, but I don't know why you're trying so hard to excuse bad behavior.

Well, to be fair, it can be both. After repeated incidents of insensitive people dismissing your frustrations by ordering you to calm down... I guess it's like being conditioned to an asshole family member or friend constantly pushing your buttons.

No, it isn't constructive or healthy to react in such a manner.

But one thing I've found in the behavioral health field is that when it comes to the worst things you can possibly say to a person who's gone nuclear (or is about to), "Calm down" is at the top of that list. The reason? A person who's that pissed off has already thrown reason out the window, they aren't interested in anything else that's going to clash with their thoughts. They stop giving a shit. It's fight or flight, and they're ready to tear up something. Most don't realize that, while well-intended, saying "calm down" at that moment can be extremely dismissive and can escalate a situation. The best way of diffusing (or is it defusing? eh) the situation is to hear the person, let them vent, let them know they are being heard, no matter how over-the-top their reaction is, no matter how nuts you think they're being. Be mindful and nonjudgmental, and let them come down from the episode.

Of course, if they still punch you, run like hell.
