Just being an asshole or writing a passionate post doesn't make you Bi-polar. It's just like hte other day I was reading about ADHD and the ADHD expert in the article said something like "Everybody has problems every so oftne wiht attention, but..."

Totally. For instance ordinary people don't do well when they miss some sleep; that's universal. What's bipolar is when, instead of making you tired, getting bad sleep actually gives you insomnia (because it makes you more manic). Or like, normal people become bigger jerks when they're tired, but they don't get in to a state of mind where they spend money, drive fast, argue over stuff they'd never normally argue over, etc.
It's kind of like seeing an alcoholic have a few drinks. For any normal person having a few drinks isn't a sign of anything, but when you see an alcoholic drinking you know they're having a relapse. Similarly with me when I see myself write a flame post I've learned it's a sign that something is going wrong in my brain's chemistry, but like you said someone else could write a flame post and that's just them being their normal selves.
