The one thing I find useful, as a person, is to do something to release the emotion that is bursting to get out. Now, some people will go to the gym to thrash the machines and punch something, which is great (release endorphins, etc...). Many others don’t have that type of lifestyle, so the physical vent does not exist. Hence the pressure builds up in their head and will eventually come out somewhere. For me, yes I try to use the physical route to release pent up aggression but this is not always possible or practical, so I have a personal blog that I use to let it all out. The best thing is it’s not part of a domain that will be spidered and it was free. I do not ever expect it to appear on any search engines and I have no links to the sub-domain at all. Now I’m not going to advertise any service provider or even my blog as that would defeat the object. I do recommend that if you do have a tendency to “shoot your mouth off”, you may wish to follow this route. If you get your thoughts down in writing and then look back at them in a few days time it may seem a lot clearer. Ultimately you should be able to articulate your point with much more brevity and authority. Think of it as a little self therapy, capture the raw emotion and then later harness the thought with greater clarity. But don’t go blasting your bad day all over other peoples sites, cause you won’t be able to take it back later… I heartily agree with the sentiment of your post.
