In order to stay "zen", as it were (I don't use that word), I have two basic rules:
 * I read everything back before posting,
 * I never post after midnight. I can become ugly sarcastic after midnight.

In the end, especially here on CC, I end up rewriting or even throwing out a post in most of the cases.

As for my frustration with users... I've had many. I've clutched the sides of my monitor, all rageface "y u no...", but I make sure to not let it show... too much. Users you've told not to do something, and when you aren't looking, they're still doing it. One user, we've told him to do something for over a year now, and he's still doing it - it's stylistic, just not enough to block him for it. Plenty of users with chronic image problems - adding either unsourced or deplorable quality images.

In the end, I try to work with the mantra "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar", but the vinegar is sooo much easier to grab off the shelf.
