The Caucus of the Angry, generally, consistently exhibits certain character traits —

— Perfectionism
— Inflexibility
— Stridency and argumentativeness
— Impracticality/detachment from reality
— A tendency to view the world from the perspective of the ideal, and inability to consider practical alternatives
— Aggressiveness
— Narrow viewpoint and the inability and unwillingness to consider other viewpoints
— Inability to see the big picture
— Elitism, and a tendency to consider only their position as being the “right” one
— Rigidity and the inability to accommodate, compromise, or exhibit flexibility
— Judgmentalism and defensiveness
— Lack of civility
— Negativity
— A preference to destroy what they disagree with rather than build on previous progress
— Inability to focus on an overall goal and to work cooperatively with others toward that goal
— Individuality, to the point of personal isolation

Interestingly enough, these character traits are found in extremists of every stripe, left as well as right. These character traits seem to be common to extremists, independent of ideology, which is why their behavior and attitudes are symptomatic of a personality disorder rather than a political philosophy. In fact, many of these traits closely parallel the symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder as identified by the American Psychiatric Association (see http://mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=569&cn=8 for confirming information).

FR has some great people on it. Unfortunately, it also has some rude and infantile morons. Sadly, the morons seem to have the run of the place.
