I've had times like that where I've become too embroiled in an argument or discussion that I think too much about it. So much so that I don't want to log off as I want the final word.
Sometimes it's good to just remember that ultimately, this is just an internet forum and most of what we say here is inconsequential. Same goes when people have drama or when serious arguments occur. It's a little too easy to take this place too seriously. If I ever get overly attached to a particular topic and I know it's detrimental to post further, for whatever reason, I'll write out my response, go to post preview, and then read it through. Then I'll simply delete it. Quite often I find myself (or at least used to) caring too much to the point where I have to win every argument or battle. Realising that you don't have to can help if this place starts taking over.
Although it's still good to get into the serious shit from time to time. Just don't let it become all the time. Pick your battles I guess
