While most people are sensible and nice, there are those few who will tell you your face is ugly or sling verbal assaults at your character because there is a typo in your blog.So what’s going on here?
First, people who would not normally confront anyone out of fear of getting their face rearranged, find that the freedom of anonymity and cyberspace releases their inner jackass. Behind the safety of their keyboards they become ten feet tall and bullet-proof.
Second, unfortunately, anger releases an adrenaline and dopamine rush. And, according to research, that combination can be addictive to some people. Here are findings from recent research I found on the Neurological Correlates web site:
Korean researchers combined a psychological test for trait anger with a genetic analysis of their dopamine receptor genes.
If a dopamine receptor gene has extra pieces of DNA in it, then the dopamine receptor protein (encoded by the gene) may be misshapen or may not be produced in sufficient quantity - and it may take more dopamine to actually bind to the receptor to get the synapse to fire in the neuron. For instance, the “7-repeat allele” - a dopamine receptor with seven extra pieces of DNA - is associated with ADHD (see the iHOP (Information Hyperlinked Over Proteins) database entry for DrD4 or the Wikipedia dopamine receptor genes entry, and scroll down for some references).
So, the researchers found, in their population, people who weren’t anger-holics and who were the live-and-let-live types had the dopamine receptor gene with few extra pieces of DNA (the “2-repeat allele”). The people who scored high on a trait-anger test had a higher number of DNA repeats (the “4-repeat allele”).
So, I guess my question is are there more of these deformed-gene people running around or has the web just increased the ability to get a “fix”? - Toni Bowers, Techrepublic.com
I'm convinced there are more mutants on the web.
In simpler terms, it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Don’t interrupt me right now as I am working on a Wine Conveyance that will revolutionize the entire industry and I want to assure you that you are high on the Need to Know list.
...and yes, these threads seen to be self cleaning of the rampant Dopamine that gets out of hand so thanks for confirming it...
