I suspect that screaming at a person who has done you wrong, in the vast majority of cases, has both the intended effect and a desirable one.

If you are in an elite position of leadership, and otherwise have more Machiavellian options, then you can always try to calculate revenge instead -- or forgive endlessly and be exploited.

I'd say in the majority of cases, for most adult people with some life experience, shouting when you want to shout is probably a healthy thing.

Though there are always cases of those who shout at the wrong people (displaced agression), or have to little life experience or no composure at all -- I dont think these are any where near the majority of cases. It's very rare. Though a perpetually (literally,) adolescent internet might make it seem so.

Almost no one ever shouts at me, though I'm very shoutable-at.
