No, you didn't..... and you know it. Now, let's take a frist step. Let's try to be honest in all we say.
First of all, no matter how you feel when you start typing, in writing and posting a message to a forum, there really is no "heat of the moment." The mere act of typing removes us from conversation and requires us to successfully perform a precise and detailed technical function we learned in school. That function requires thinking of words, the formulation of those thoughts into the composition of sentences we then tap out on a keyboard, the capitalization of words, the insertion of punctuation, and the subsequent application of the proper keystroke combinations to enable our computer to transmit our message to the forum.
That is NOT "heat of the moment" stuff. All that takes time; usually no less than three or four minutes. And that is without even doing any proofreading. Plenty of time to think and to cool off...……….. UNLESS you just don't want to do either!
So when you call someone a P___k or tell them to STFU, the words don't "just slip out in the heat of the moment." They were well thought-out over a fairly long time, and they were deliberately placed on a screen to be electronically sent out over the ether waves with the raw, premeditated intent of retaliation. With malice aforethought. (Thankfully, we're not in a court of law.)
So, how about ALL OF US start being truthful about the fact that every single word we put into a post is a word we thoroughly WANTED to be in that post?
