I think message boards are like a drug for people who have anger issues. These people have low self-esteem and they get pleasure making others feel bad and trying to get them down to their level.
We all have probably been attacked one time or another by these angry posters, some which I have seen have been banned. I have learned to just ignore them because it is not worth my time or energy to get in a message board argument. There really is never a winner any way.
I know most people who post on message boards are harmless, but there is a small percentage of those who you absolutely don't want to piss off. You just never know what they are capable of doing. My advice is to think before you post.

Of course Wellbutrin is prescribed for people with ADHD and depression, which means some impulse control problems pre-exist, and SSRIs are used for PTSD and for irritability as much as for depression, also meaning pre-existing risk -- I have seen a couple people blow up on Zoloft, and the link between SSRIs and aggression (self or other-directed) are quite well-documented.
WB is more likely to cause anxiety-related (i.e. 'pseudo-defensive') anger outbursts, but it can indeed increase baseline irritability in some people, and for ex you probably wouldn't use it with Bipolars or PTSD w/o very careful consideration, and never with people who've had a significant concussion, because it can lower the seizure threshhold. I really had questions about it becoming widely used for smoking cessation -- properly used with psych monitoring, it's a very good antidepressant and actually can smooth out moodiness and excitablility, but handed out by a GP for smoking control with no good psych intake is a very different thing.
Benzodiazepines can actually lower frontal lobe impulse controls, which directly increases the risk of aggressive impulsive outbursts, and are strongly contraindicated in patients with dementia or frontal brain damage for that very reason. Prednisone and the glucocorticoids are widely used for asthma and allergic conditions, and I can't tell you how many people I've seen become irritable/enraged, suicidally depressed, panicky, or flat-out psychotic on those drugs over the years -- probably 2 or 3 a year.
Where is the fricking smile with its hand going over its head?
