Just practice - where you might be tempted to lash out at the other person, instead include a fact that might change their mind. Include things that they might relate to. If you are truly convicted on your side of the argument, you should have no problem finding concrete evidence to back yourself up. There are plenty of times I've been tempted to type "well, then you're just stupid". I come back to those thoughts later and try to write something constructive.

And I appreciate you saying that - getting my thoughts across clearly is something I work at everyday. And I'm still working at it.
