I too have posted hastily and irascibly on (rare) occasions. However, all of us have the possibility of editing or deleting our own posts, and I have made use of that when I realized that my post was not appropriate in content and/or tone. I highly recommend the use of the virtual eraser! Better yet, type the post into the word processor, wait and do something else, then reread and post if it still sounds good.
