Very interesting Patti! It's almost as if the predetermined emotion of the Rant Room is "anger" so people just accept that and, almost paradoxically, can RELAX about it. Maybe it's the ambiguity of the more general discussion areas that gets people riled up. When people THINK they sense anger - but aren't sure it's really there - THAT'S when emotions get out of hand (i.e., projections flare up)
