> about the site's shadow, along the lines that the site's shadow consisted of profanity, name-calling, joking about death and so on. But these things are suppressed quite successfully, and isn't the shadow as much about about things which are acted out but not acknowledged? The shadow of this site also consists of envy, rage and cruelty which are not acknowledged and are acted out in a civil manner.
I'm hardly an expert on Jungian concepts, but I agree, feelings of envy and rage (cruelty I don't think of as a feeling) are sometimes acted out as opposed to acknowledged as such. I think envy is discussed much less than anger.*
And of course this may also apply to other feelings...
