[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8167399, member: 6801228"] Consider this Max. "In anger" may be the right response. But people express anger differently. I've seen people getting incredibly angry, and never raise their voice. Seen them get so angry they breakdown into tears. Seen them get so angry they start throwing chairs. You are using "hostile" in terms of military usage in some of your examples. But you acknowledge in this post that it is merely uncommon for people to use the term to simply mean "highly upset" Personally, I see being upset and being... I'd want to use agressive but considering how that would be taken how about I say, forward about that feeling, as a legit usage of "hostile". It is a very different expression of anger than being defensive or passive-aggressive. And, again, I don't see the value in hiding the fact that you are upset. Screaming, spitting, throwing, all of that is unacceptable, clearly, but a "Dude, what the [I]bleep[/I]" is still in the realm of "hostile" while also being appropriate to the situation. [/QUOTE]
