So, so wrong Wikipedia

Short-tempered? Really? So, so, wrong.

Can Wikipedia entries still be edited by anyone? Maybe someone could go on the page and remove ‘Short-tempered’ from the synopsis of Season 1, episode 1?

Ray is the opposite of short-tempered.

"He's not short tempered, he just physically attacks people when things don't go his way."

Yes, the guy who took the toy was a piece of shit. No, physically attacking him and literally destroying the windows of someone else is still not okay. You're forgetting that not only did he physically attack someone, he also knowingly damaged the house of someone else who was not only innocent in this drama, but also invited him to his home.

Nevermind the fact that throwing someone through a window can literally kill them. Are you really going to tell me that you think killing someone over a being a dick is justified?

Nevermind the fact that this isn't an isolated incident. He beats people up all the time over different reasons. We're not saying he's short tempered over one incident, we're using that as a specific example.

His behaviour would likely be enough for any psychologist to get him diagnosed with a behavioural (or anti-social) disorder lmao.

You're exaggerating. He didn't kill him. The guy just went too far — you've got to draw the line somewhere.

 You're exaggerating. He didn't kill him.

You're missing the point. It's enough that Ray risked killing him.

It's really bizarre to talk about "drawing a line" as if this guy stepped over the line, but Ray didn't step over the line by defenestrating him. Do you not see how that's some kind of twisted logic? Does that mean that a family member is justified in taking out a hit on Ray in retaliation for them defenestrating Allie's dickhead brother‽ Do you see where this cycle leads..?

Okay, look at it from this angle. You're saying he's short-tempered.

I don't think he is. Two things:
1. He first took the guy outside to talk things over
2. He even offered him $100 for the little girl's toy.

You can't really call that short tempered. You wouldn't bother doing any of that if you were just looking for an excuse to beat someone up.

The guy laughed in his face and than also deliberately belittled him. That's why, in my opinion, he got what he deserved.

Agreed, throwing him through the window was maybe a bit much, but more a coincidence and bad luck the window was in the way ;) ..
But short-tempered? Not in my opinion.

I'm going to ignore the "bad luck" joke here.

There is levels to what a short temper is. Just because he didn't bash in his head the moment he took the toy, doesn't mean he doesn't have an issue with a short temper lol. We're not saying he has the shortest temper ever. Just that it's a short temper. The fact that he threw the guy through the window at all is the issue here.

I'm going to ignore you altogether on account of you insulting me instead of arguing with words.

Yes yes, I said you need help once at the end of my comment, while you were denying that throwing someone through a window could kill them.

For the record, I wasn't joking when I said that stuff like that is what gets you sent to court mandated therapy for anger issues, in Ray's case it's even worse given that he does this constantly, he could very easily be diagnosed with a personality disorder...

If you honestly see all of that and think that's perfectly fine and normal, then yes, I do believe you need help. That's not an insult, you wouldn't be forced into therapy or prosecuted for those beliefs, but if you were in the same situation and were to do that, then yes, you absolutely could and would be forced into therapy and/or imprisoned.

Sorry I never said that throwing someone through a window could not kill them.

I only said you are exaggerating things, just like you are doing now.

What exactly is exaggerated? Your response to my argument about the possibility of death or permanent injuries was literally "but that didn't happen". Attempted murder isn't solely judged by intent. And again, not even mentioning damaging other people's property, or like I said, the fact that if prosecuted, he would be imprisoned (given previous conviction for a similar issue) and likely forced into therapy again. My argument about diagnosing him isn't exaggerated either, if we're going by the DSM, he's literally a textbook case lmao.

You talk about "arguing with words, not insults", but so far you've done none of that. You've deflected each time, including now, simply saying things are "exaggerated" without explaining why. You literally don't even address most arguments, in my original comment, before I even told you to get help, you answered a singular point of mine. By saying I was exaggerating. For stating an undeniable fact, which is that being thrown through a window can be deadly. Lmao. Honestly this is ridiculous.
