The first four riddles & Some hatred is just nonsense

Quite independently from whatever ways of reaction or style of speech You - the reader - would use, I have come up with a dialogue between us. Am I not terrible?^^ Starting off by putting words in your mouth you didn't want in there:

Me: Hello to you, dear reader!
You: Hello from me as well to a sir who is all mean.
Me: Oh, you know me by my anagram?
You: I certainly do for it has been your signature for quite some time now, has it not?
Me: Yes it has. And by the way: an average little hillock supports a total of ELEVEN sheep on it.
You: Pardon?
Me: 11 sheep... fit on a hillock.
You: Is this some sort of a riddle?
Me: It is indeed, but it's quite obscured at the moment. You will have to wait a number of posts after which you can then fill in the blanks in the following sentence: _ _ _ _ _ is _ _ _ _ _ _!
You: Hm... alright.
Me: And here's a little something to warm you up:

N..S..E...T..O..M
O..A..C..A..B..Y
P"M.W.R..R...N
S...E..T...I...E".E
E...R..A..S..A..X
.!...T...S..O..P...T

Do note, that the dots were inserted just to align the letters neatly.

I understand my great dislike towards rude and ill-mannered people is normal: A day ago I was forced to share public space with two young kids who were constantly spitting all over the place. With great skill and speed they let their saliva fly here and there - even in the middle of a sentence without stopping - until a staggering amount of ground was covered. I am pretty sure they even practice doing it until a high level of proficiency. I'm not sure, but I think its the side effect of smoking - bad taste in one's mouth. In addition they used quite a lot of expletives which I recognized from all that horribly pronounced Russian they used. I don't speak the language but I could tell they were doing it wrong.
Coming back to the actual topic, here is something what cannot be hated at least logically: That is the weather. Well it can be hated actually like any other lifeless object or entity, but it's not like it bears any fault. And moreover, when someone accidentally brakes his or her toe against an unexpected chair in the dark, then it's common to swear or smack the chair to calm down. But you can't smack the rain can you? Or the sun in my case. As the proverb goes: There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes. So is it safe to say that it is psychologically more healthy for one to separate his or her emotions from the phenomenon that is weather? I think so, yet I frown or complain whenever I see the sun some out.
