Angry? Write and delete!

Subject line says it all
Or most of it
There are times when campaigning that things won't go your way. And you get used to that - and you'll see comments through these pages. But there will be - hopefully a few times - where you'll be really angry. After all, if you're really involved it becomes personal ... and if it's personal, it's emotional
There are times you'll jump in and need to strike while the iron is hot. But also consider write and save locally, or write and delete. Looking back at anger can cast you in a poor light when you might have been better just to shrug
So - what makes you angry? Looking back, looking at a root cause, it comes to people. Perhaps better to pity those people that they have (intentionally or accidentally) done something to cause such anger.
