/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

How do I stop getting so angry at 4chan posts? I'm generally a calm, collected person IRL, but when something pisses me off here, I can't help myself. I say really mean, petty things and I just can't let arguments die unless I basically have the last word. It's lead to thread derailments of all sorts. I guess it's better than being that way in reality, but it's not good either way.

It's almost like an addiction in that I'm almost disappointed when the other person doesn't reply, too. For example, someone tried to come at me in a thread on another board, but I didn't see it until hours later when the thread was on autosage. I typed up a response, but the thread is probably going to die soon. The knowledge that they may never see my reply, and that they will continue living with the opinion that they somehow "won" or "struck a nerve" is irritating to me.
