Thats what I think...Do scorpios really backstab you? I have a scorpio friend, I know he brings up hidden issues, which I don't even remember.

He is still a best friend.

Just want to know others thoughts on this.

How do I do things so as not to displease a scorpio. What is their tolerance level. How do I gauge it.

That is really a question for any sign.....
I am not up for backstabbing people, I am a quite good friend.. if you make it to the friend level, which, is actually an easy thing to do.... I wouldn't backstab you. If there is any of that going on, one would have to think long and hard about the level of devotion between each other.. maybe there has been some hidden or outright anger mechanisms that make it 'okay'.. not that it ever is. but some evils are more easily justified....
What about Mars placement and it's aspects to the Sun or Ascendant. And also... what about work?
Your Boss might be a completely wrong jack a$$ but it is obviously inappropriate to tell him/her that on the job.. that is, if you want to keep your job..... so even if you want to let the anger-fairy out of her cage, it would be foolish to do so.
It is social conscience, spiritual evolution level, the way you were raised, or even the way you have taught yourself, barring your caregivers' practises.... situational appropriateness, the manner of which you are angered.....
If I do lose my temper, the recipient of that ire usually knows it is over soon.. it comes like a hurricaine, but recedes just as fast. It is out as perceptively as ozone in the atmosphere, zinging around the room like a tangible thing, but when the air is cleared, apologies are made and hopefully accepted.
Hard to suppress basic temperments, but easy ( through study and knowledge) to 'temper' your temper.

How do you not ire a Scorpio? Same as anyone else, be a good friend. We are also very understanding of human nature as well. We can tolerate alot.

Pix, you're such a cool chick that it's hard to relate the Scorpio mean-ness to you at all. You aren't all that typical of an example, IMO.

In my experience with Scorpios (one of which has been my boss for about 5 years), I've learned a few things that irk him to no end...
Don't speak flippantly about their personal issues, especially around other people. They are extremely guarded of their personal affairs, and don't appreciate people blabbing them out for them. If they want to tell you something about their personal life, that is their choice, but know better than to share it indescriminately. That goes for business related conversations had in private. It's always "between you, me and the fence post", even if it's just about something simple. If he wants someone else to know, HE has to be the one who tells them. It's a control thing, I think.

I don't know about them being backstabbers, but in my experience they can be moody, intense people.

I agree with Pix. As a Scorpio myself, I don't backstab. If someone that I really trust proves to be disloyal, suprisingly, I give them another chance! I've actually done this before with friends.
But in the end if a friend continually betrays my trust, all other bonds are broken.

Trust is the most important to us Scorpio's it's hurtful when we feel lied to and betrayed. I'm sure it is with most, but for Scorp's I think it's harder to forgive.

Sometimes we're not as quick to communicate when we feel we've been slighted. Maybe this is why you feel like your friend is bringing up "hidden issues".

I'm usually slow to react when I'm upset about something, then if I do react my timing is way off. Sometimes it's abrupt, and may catch another off guard.
It takes a lot of effort to get me angry though.
