I understand that the current trend is to suppress all your emotions, and then quietly read self-help books and seek therapy, but it's not at all obvious to me that venting does more bad than good.

To me, I get a kick out of reading Linus' rants, I find them highly amusing. I can understand that the few people they're directed towards, would feel mildly abused, to which I say welp, it's a small price to pay.

There needs to be an acceptance that dealing with other people is oftentimes frustrating, and that there need to be avenues to release that. Business people have booze, drugs, strippers and hookers. Linus is a good boy, he has offensive language and all caps.

I consider him a saint, compared to the alternatives someone a little more gregarious would've taken.
