The original write up
We all know there is a point in time where everyone sees something that makes them thing "OH NO THEY DIDN"T!"
Guess what... Yep. They did.
Question is,
How are you going to deal with it?
First of all, do you know what rage is?
It is the ball of anger building up inside you waiting to explode?
That is rage.
No. Stop.
Don't post that reply, fool.
'Coz that just isn't going to help.

That ain't pretty.
All right, on a serious note. First things first.
Think about it.
Logically, this would be the first thing many people should do in any given situation, but emotional responses tend to interfere with logic.
- Is it worth getting upset over?
- Is it going to directly effect your real life?
- Is it just a misunderstanding?
- Is it really that much of a problem to make yourself look like generally a nasty person over?
So what do you want me to do then????"
There are really three simple steps. The easiest way to avoid a nasty situation is:
Start at the beginning.
[color=#33FF33]Start at the beginning.
1. BREATHE
Yep, that's all you need to do... Seriously.
Not only is it a survival instinct required to survive, it apparently also helps you calm down.
Funny how that works, right?
Don't hyperventilate, Just chill out and breathe.
If you need to, put some relaxing music on, beach sounds, whatever does it for you.
If that isn't working, then you need to make more of an effort

2. STAND UP AND WALK AWAY
Just like those bathroom breaks, the annoying things that pull people away from the world of gaming.
Push the chair out from under the computer desk, move the laptop, netbook, Ipad, whatever you are using to access the game or forums (Naturally don't F1 or anything silly), and stand up and walk away.
It requires a lot of self control, and may take some work.
The most important advise you can possibly get
[color=#33FF33]3. TAKE A BREAK
Not only is this good for your eyes, it tends to give the average person time to think and calm down.
When you are out of the general vicinity of the computer, it is rather easy.
Go into another room, or even better yet, outside and do something completely different, have a smoke and a coffee or play with the dog.
Alternatively,
Go make a sandwich.
Really, have you ever met anyone angry with a sandwich......
Remember:
