Do ten minutes of research before a ten-minute rant. It’ll probably turn into a two-minute rant.

Anger runs on a simplified version of events, which is why it feels so clear. Details tend to complicate a position, and looking things up before you get loud usually trades a bit of certainty for a bit of accuracy. Sometimes you find out you were right, and now you are right with evidence. Sometimes you find out the story had a part you did not have.

Give yourself ten minutes before you post, or before you get going at the table. Find who said it, when, and what came right before the quoted part. Then say your piece, shorter and much harder to knock over.
