I actually find it somewhat funny that you find my being nice insulting, and you'd prefer threats instead.

No. I knew about these sides, I simply don't have to show them because my brother's more vocal with his temper. I'm content to let him act as the violent or tempermental one of us. I hold him back when he flies off the handle. When it comes time for gentleness and someone needs protection or talking to, or we interact with strangers, he lets me do the talking and listening for him.

He knows about it, but I rarely have to bring it out in front of him. Usually it's only when someone hurts him, or he doesn't immediately jump to my defense before I have a chance to do it myself.

I don't hold back so I don't shock people. I hold back because it's habit.
