Anger
I am so appreciative of the way these authors "normalized" the use of anger -legitimate anger, I should say- in university discourse. Excellent article. Very tight reasoning.
Hard to believe that "civility" is being used to extinguish legitimate and very serious argumentation.

no place for anger on the campus
Anger is the opposite of thankfulness. It is impossible for an angry person to be thankful, and it is impossible for a thankful person to be angry.
Instead of expressing anger, let's be thankful. Anger only hurts people, and it does not force anyone to tell the truth. Anger forces people to agree with whatever the angry person says out of fear.
