Wikipedia:Overreacting

It is important to keep your cool while using Wikipedia, but even the best of us can get involved in a heated debate. If someone says you might be overreacting, take a few moments and stop to ponder whether it is the case. If you are, perhaps a wikibreak or simply walking away from the situation may be the best option.

Steps in not over-reacting

 * 1) Recognize you might be over-reacting.
 * 2) If you are unsure as to whether you might be overreacting, check with someone else.
 * 3) React accordingly.
