How angry do you get when you play online FPS?

I get pissed off when it's not a fair kill. Y'know when you have that split second lag and you die before the guys even started shooting and when you knife a guy but he continues to run past and shoot you.
That's when I shout. Turns out, these sort of thins happen a lot in Black Ops.

It varies. If I die, it doesn't matter. Hell, I'm suicidal, most times. But if the fun gets killed? The shit hits the fan. First, it's perma-scowl-o vision. Then, it's under-breath cursing. Then, it's yelling. Then, it's off to the kitchen to fix a drink, and rant about everything that's wrong with the game I was playing.
It doesn't matter if I win or lose, kill or die, massacre, or just scrape by; if it's fun, I give not a shite. If the fun dies, so does everyone else. If that doesn't work, then go by the anger chart posted above, for my reactions. End of line.

If I hop online and have a couple bad games I just quite for a while, because obviously I'm not in the right mindset to do well. But if I am doing well and suddenly some bullshit starts happening I can of course be frustrated and throw out a few expletives. But overall, I'm generally pretty calm about it.

The only online game I play is TF2, and I tend to quit long before I get truly angry. I refuse to play on normal respawn servers because nothing's more fucking frustrating than waiting 20 seconds, walking all the way to the fight, and getting sniped. Or backstabed. Or any of the other ways you can get agonizingly owned.
I only get angry with COD, which is why I don't play it anymore, but even then it's only swears and the occasional controller punching. Never broken anything though.
If I die, I'm usually fairly accepting that it was either my fault or the person who killed me was more skilled than me. I sometimes get pissed off in a jokey way which probably just helps me relieve some stress, but I wouldn't think of doing it when in a room with others. That would make me kind of strange...

Well I have good days and I have bad days like most human beings.
On good days, I make everyone scream at me.
On bad days, I scream at them.
Does that answer your question?

I do get frustrated on occasion, but usually it is over my inability to notice the sniper in time(or sometimes because I do see him but without enough time to get out of there) or from generally cheap deaths where I feel like I shot a guy a ton of times just to have him kill me instantly with seemingly little effort.
Stupidly, ridiculously, hilariously angry.
I try to avoid them nowadays as they're bad for my mood.

I honestly get way more annoyed in a hard/poorly designed singleplayer section than I ever do online. I can almost always have fun online, no matter if I'm winning or losing.
I'm pretty profane when I play. I don't get angry-angry, but I've gotten into the habit of eliciting a stress reaction whenever something breaks my stride.
It's funny, I quit an FPS recently because I was tired of having my ass handed to me. Combo a bad night with great players = no fun for me. I wasn't angry, I just had enough. My friend IM'd me and said thanks, you rage quit and we haven't won a match since.
We weren't winning before that, but he made me laugh anyway.
When I do get angry, I might flip off the screen or swear, but that's about the end of it. It's just a game and the more worked up you get, the worse you will play and the more worked up you get... you get the idea.

I'm not particularly good at online shooters, but I usually keep my cool and if I do feel the need to let out a stream of expletives, I always make sure my mic is muted first.
It very rarely comes to that though, usually only when I've been spawn killed one too many times. I figure when it gets to the point where I'm getting ready to yell at the game, it isn't fun enough to be worth playing any more, so I turn it off and go do something else.
