I'd recommend you head over to Stack Exchange where safeguards have been designed to help you stay on topic or just not respond at all. Or just step away from the keyboard for the weekend, go outside and take a walk around. Stimulate the parts of your brain not associated with operating systems and on-line interactions. Perhaps even smile at someone you don't know. Try to remember a time when you were younger... a time when you were hopefully less of and ass and more useful. Then come back and be that person. Take as long as you need. The Internet will still here when you get back.
