Just airing my thoughts.

Being a bastard works.

There is nothing wrong with being nice and happy. But, being a dick and expressing rage are just as valid emotions. And if you don't express both sides then life can be difficult (or at least boring).

A big part of healthy expression of rage and "being a dick" is setting boundaries. It says (like LMNO stated above)

I am HERE, NOW, so don't FUCK  with me, treat me RIGHT.

Go too far in one direction and you become an asshole. Go too far in the other and people walk all over you. Second circuit limits are a constant balancing act.
