So any tweet supporting gay marriage, like those from @rickygervais, are "less healthily", and a "maladaptive" way to express anger? I don't think so.

  You're commenting on a social network in a conversation about outrage on social media. Lets not kill all context just to find a way to snipe a minor point by both purposefully misreading the tweet and acting as if two pieces of the Times article separated by three paragraphs were said in the same breath. Gervais saying "Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. Like churches don’t." is not ANY tweet supporting gay marriage. It's a particular kind of tweet supporting gay marriage, one that made my internal monologue say "ooohh shots fired!" I can simultaneously support the sentiment and tell you exactly why this would rile up some of my family members living in The South.
