Is it acceptable to berate fish if it serves as a release of emotion/anger as long as I'm not typing it in the chat? Or should we fundamentally avoid it regardless of the situation?

It fundamentally makes a massive emotional difference that can be the deciding factor between solid and breakeven play. Maybe an lengthy and eloquent response would reveal the precise strategic implications; however, I think the point can be made quite simply: focusing on the way his actions make you feel will surface emotions of guilt, pity, and/or anger, each of which prevents you from focusing on the exploitive adjustments required to extract maximal profits.
