Great job updating this post. I think a lot of people get the impression metal makes you violent from watching videos with mosh pits. They don't understand it's a healthy release of anger. I've been in a lot of pits over the years and 99% of the people are simply having a good time. Someone goes down, you help them up. You come across jerks every once in a while, but pit justice usually weeds them out.

I'm getting too old to mosh anymore, but cranking up some metal is still a great way to release stress.
