No stopping.

I went through almost two months of withdrawl and in all that time I was never angry and never lashed out until someone was being attacked or ridiculed. It's so easy to find victims and spit out venom at them. Everyone here is susceptible to attacks and in a lot of cases are extremely vulnerable when in the midst of anxiety, paranoia or pain. I will cede that sometimes the attackers themselves are in the throes of the demon "Withdrawal" and can be somewhat excused for lashing out without thinking.
There is however, no excuse for those who are completely aware and strike at someone simply because it suits them at the time. Anger here in this forum should, and I say this from experience, be leveled at ourselves. We cannot blame others for our pain, simply because they are not the cause of it. We have a tendency to find fault with others in order to cover up our own inadequacies. Like it or not, that is a true fact. You cannot erase self guilt by pointing the finger at someone else. We are here to solve personal problems and that is what we should be doing. If you are hurting and need help to fight your way out of it, just ask, there are many here who would be only too happy to help, don't take it out on someone who is hurting as much as you are.
