A guy at work had an altercation with another employee. When we questioned his actions he explained that the principle reason is that he is a passionate person, that passion couldn't possibly be held against anyone, that it's a positive trait, that it helps him be better.
What it really is is an excuse to behave like a child, to introduce chaos where order is required, an excuse to act out their emotions instead of dispassionately, objectively approaching the problem in the most positive possible way.
"That's the way I am, I'm passionate." - Oh brother. Isn't there a name for it? Oh yes, I know -Arrested development. If you're an idiot just say so, don't hang it on a bad excuse.

I'm with ya, bro. Reminds me of the Bill Cosby routine in "Bill Cosby Himself" (available on vhs). He's making fun of drug users who say about cocaine, "It magnifies your personality."
His reply? "Yes, but what if you're an a**hole?"
You know what they say "You can't fix stupid". Sounds like a passionate jerk!
