Don't Write That Letter

For John, BLUF:  Take time to cool off.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Over at the Althouse Blog is a link to a New York Times OpEd by Ms Maria Konnikova, "The Lost Art of the Unsent Angry Letter." In an inside joke, Professor Althouse notes that her favorite sentence is:

In some ways, little has changed in the art of the unsent letter since Lincoln thought better of excoriating Meade.

This OpEd resonates with me, in that I learned at an early age that if angry, don't send a letter (this was back before EMail), and if you must write the letter, do so, but put it in your lower right hand desk drawer.

Hat tip to Ann Althouse.
