Speaking for myself, I know first-hand just how powerful a force this inner rage is, that the article talks about. I grew up in a largely similar situation where I, too, was teased and bullied - to the point where I lost control and lashed out violently.

I often see in myself the capability of performing such an awful act as Adam did. Not for any particular reason, but simply because I've bottled up immense rage over the years; rage that I somehow manage to keep under tight control. A so-called "Irish temper," if you will.

Honestly, I find it surprising that things like this don't happen more often among us "nerds;" that more of us don't lash out at society.
