I think that if we see each other getting upset, we can babblemail each other. I know there are times when a good off board talk has helped me on board. That's where a good civility buddy comes in handy. A good chat with my civility buddy often leaves me laughing and less angry.
In my experience, it works best to have a someone you are comfortable with and chat with anyway on hand to be a civility buddy. Since once I get worked up I'm less able to take in words of wisdom. But if I have someone I talk to before I get too worked up, I can often change course a bit.
That's just what helps me. I imagine that other people have other things that help them.
