I do actually try to keep these in mind...

...when dealing with difficult people on the Internets.

Unruly beings are as unlimited as space; They cannot possibly all be overcome. But if I overcome thoughts of anger alone, This will be equivalent to vanquishing all foes. ~Shantideva
In a river mist, if another boat knocks against yours, you might yell at the other fellow to stay clear. But if you notice then, that it's an empty boat, adrift with nobody aboard, you stop yelling. When you discover that all the others are drifting boats, there's no one to yell at. And when you find out you are an empty boat, there's no one to yell. ~Chuang Tzu
