so im curious, you know how really pissed off people will talk alot faster and throw theyre hands in the air and point in everything? so what happens when a person using sign language is mad? do theyre hands just keep getting faster and faster until its just like a blur of raw fury?

I have a couple of friends who use sign language and they do tend to make their movements faster and more powerful, but not so fast that they are a blur.lol After you are around my friends for a while and know how they talk regularly, you can easily see the difference.
>:-(
well if they get really pissed they show it by just giving you their back
They probably have full eye contact and make their needs known.
Have a look at Italians when they talk – looks like the same thing – hands flying everywhere!
I am learning SL now and our teacher has eyes like a hawk and when she wants to make a point about something she stops, gets our attention and if she got angry, she would be able to communicate it.
Quicken, yes; a blur – no!
Sign language is total communication using facial expressions and body language which is recognised easily by other signers.
And for every 4-letter word that hearing people might use in temper, there is an equivalent one in BSL!
They do move a lot faster but not in a blur, most use strong facial emotions
