All we need is to see an aggressively violent airbender to change opinions. I mean I used to think all firebenders were hotheads until I understood Iroh's life philosophy. And I thought waterbenders were more of the healer type until the first bloodbending episode.
Of course I'm sure that, in each type of bending's philosophy they are what we see them as, but again as a pure energy and martial form any and all bending can be wholly destructive.
