GirlTip #16: Reply With Class To Online Drama

Online Drama 101: If you get a text, chat or email that triggers (1) a surge of negative feeling & (2) the desire to fire back immediately - like the skin-on-fire feeling that I can't do anything else but respond to this - STEP AWAY from the device. Even if you think you’re sane, you’re jacked up. Wait. When you’re calm enough to something else besides reply, only then are you ready to do it with class.
