Apart from the "People who are too passionate about one thing" part, I can 100% agree with you. Over the past few years I've changed from a rather sad person obsessed over topics others would find barely relevant (kids, don't do /g/) to a person that's rather satisfied with his own life. I still care about these previously mentioned topics, but it's not something that'd make me throw insults at someone if they didn't agree with me.

"Throwing insults to anyone who disagrees" and being too passionate about one thing are not necessarily correlated. I can imagine someone being extremely passionate and still respectful.

By being obsessed over a topic I meant that back then I'd take any kind of criticism as a personal attack or just presume that everyone's not educated enough on it, instantly resorting to using "ad hominem" arguments myself. Thankfully, today I'm a completely different person. Being passionate about something is something completely else that I personally consider beautiful in its own way.
